    tbh spotify solved a lot of headaches I had with organizing my music. I used to torrent full discographies from artists I discovered and organize the files on my PC which took up a lot of space. Eventually I started converting the mp3s to lower bitrates to save on space lol. I also had to spend time and harmonize the album titles and song titles within the folders because sometimes when you download music torrents the ripper likes to put a bunch of stuff or write everything in all caps. Spotify essentially does all that categorizing for me and with Spicetify I don't even get ads anymore and I'm still on the free plan.

    Only thing I don't like with them is the algorithm, it's so bad. Youtube's is much better, google hasn't enshitified that yet at least.

      Try private torrent trackers, they have rules on tags/labels as well as quality control. It is much better to rip from FLAC -> 256kbps mp3 than it is to rip from 320kbps mp3 -> 256kbps mp3.
