    So what is the best for audiophile piracy? I’m asking for a friend who is a total audiophile. Spotify rips? Youtube rips?

      Spotify and YouTube have such low quality audio that they should be immediately disregarded. Soulseek has a lot of really high quality audio but also regular mp3s otherwise QBDLX is phenomenal since qobuz has high quality.

        Lucida.to is great.

        Or for faster downloads, just register for a Qobuz trial with a throwaway account, download all you want with stream rip or similar tool. Rinse and repeat.

      Maybe Plex/Emby/Jellyfin paid shares.

      Many people will download everything that exists, and paying a small amount is cheaper than the hardware you’d need to get it all, assuming you invest the difference in a global index like Vanguards VT.

      I used to buy 8tb disks for 200$ a pop, and I stopped at 800$, with barely enough to fit a reasonable number of 1080p movies.
