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.
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.
So what is the best for audiophile piracy? I’m asking for a friend who is a total audiophile. Spotify rips? Youtube rips?
Soulseek. Its the way to go honestly

Maybe Plex/Emby/Jellyfin paid shares.

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.
What the heck how do vanguard funds relate to this?
I’m just saying its cheaper to pay sometimes than to buy all the hardware, as I found out.
Totally the opposite of my experience. Depends on you needs i guess. Storage in particular is pricey
