What about torrents or something? It used to be so big. And now I don't see a lot of music anymore. Everybody went to steaming service, it's awful.
Slsk, search for it. Best kept secret. Note that some bigger artists have their libraries blocked from search via dcma, so you will need to search by partial artist name or album name instead, but it's voluminous. Musical library of Alexandria.
Thanks! Its called Soulseek officially.
(I know, we try to keep it quiet)
(Owh oké, but it already has its own dedicated wiki article)
There's definitely torrent sites.
Even a certain famous pirate still has a site.
Yeah true. I was mainly talking about music torrents. Which used to be big as well.
Of course there used to be limewire and what have you not as well in the past. Which is maybe not that popular anymore. There is frostwire as well today.
