You know what I mean, the FLAC and MP3 releases that are the majority of the releases on any site that allows them. Does anyone use these? Instead of soulseek and premium app downloaders?

edit: How are you guys in piracy lemmy and don’t know what “the scene” is? FFS. It is NOT the demo scene. It means FLAC bundles and MP3 bundles with names like Zatox-Overdrive_(Original_Mix)-(ITAL044D)-SINGLE-WEB-2024-AOV

    If used them a few times before tools to rip from streaming services became as common as they are now and thkse releases are fine. Dont really see a reason to use them nowadays tho besdies the scenes seal of approval.

    Also I get your frustration with people not understanding what you mean with “scene” here, but tbf you could have specified which scene, in this case it would be the warezscene that you are talking about.

    For those unaware about the warezscene, they are the groups that make releases for every type of media and are bound by rules (you can look them up if you wanna know specifics about those), the names the op mentioned are a result of those rules.

      Although I never took the time to check myself, I heard multiple reports about how streaming music has crappy dynamic range, and that the same song on CD or ripped vinyl always has much better range.

      It would be my main reason to use the scenes…
