By “zip file”, I meant a compressed archive. I’m not as nerdy as you guys are so I see now that there is a difference. I appreciate the correction.
That said, you have to admit that it’s still cool that these different file formats are nothing more than archives. Maybe not to you but it blew my mind when I first learned this.
Speaking of which, it blew my mind when I discovered that .EXEs are just zip files compressed archives. Same goes for .DLLs, and a lot of other common Windows file extensions as well. (.DOC too, for example IIRC). They all open in your favorite archiver software (I like NanaZip; which is a fork of 7-Zip with a modern UI).
I have to disagree. Removing features for the sake of simplifying things for the idiot masses frustrates me like no other. To this day I’m still upset over the removal of the Menu button in Android.
Also, love to be that guy: it’s their. I’ll never understand why people mix up their, there, and they’re so easily. Same goes for you’re and your. I realize that I’m being a dick but this shit is basic elementary school English.
Don’t use DoubleDouble.top. Many of its tracks are YouTube rips.
Use one of these websites instead. Every single tune is available in 320Kbps MP3 and FLAC. No rips nor re-encoding:

I’ve only ever downloaded from public trackers (cause it’s impossible to maintain the required seed ratio on private trackers and Debrid services are better anyway); never had an issue ever over 20-some years of torrenting ever. I don’t bother verifying checksums cause it’s unnecessary paranoia. All the major public trackers have good moderation teams; the malicious garbage gets called out in the comments and removed rather quickly.
This is why we shouldn’t ban Critical Race Theory.
