High Quality Offline Music

A brief overview of how to enjoy high quality music without subscribing to a privacy-invasive and usually lower-quality music streaming service like Spotify, YouTube Music, Deezer, etc.

I have over 4000 songs just in one playlist on my phone. I’ve never used a streaming app.

I try and find new music via Fediverse, Tiny Desk series, music acts from shows like: SNL, Tonight Show, etc. And of course I’ll check Billboard top charts once in a while.

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.

(Owh oké, but it already has its own dedicated wiki article)
