In the pre-streaming days I used to have a large collection of ripped and downloaded music. However as my taste in music is extremely wide and it became easier and more fun to use hacked streaming services (i.e. Youtube Music Vanced) to play music especially on the go, I decided to let my music collection go years ago. Plus… it was a big mess due to undiagnosed ADHD so let’s be honest it wasn’t a huge loss.

Now with the streaming ecosystem degrading and me now capable of keeping my things in order, I find myself wanting to start rebuilding a local music collection for the coming post-streaming era.

Wondering if there are any places I could find huge collection torrents that could be pared down to what I want, rather than spending my life downloading single albums or discographies? I’m ideally talking torrents that would be like 20GB of funk, but not just a shitload of tracks in a root directory with no tagging.

One of my favourite things about streaming services is getting to hear tracks or artists I haven’t even thought of in ages, and it’s hard to build a collection when you can’t think of exactly what to put in it!

Noob question

Whenever I search for 1337x or any other site someone recommends, how do I know which one is reliable? Because if I search in Google, DuckDuckGo, or any other search engine, I get results with domains ending in .is .to. .tw .skin .net etc.

Are they all just different proxies to the same thing or is there a list of reliable links?
