Personally, I just pirate the FLAC files from RED, and play them with VLC. Several advantages to this:

  • Spotify is owned by a shitty, greedy company with shitty, greedy practices.
  • Spotify enforces DRM on almost all its media.
  • FLAC files have superior quality as they are lossless
  • I can play them offline without a subscription
  • Downloads are pretty much instant, as private trackers have insane seeder to leecher ratio

I'm sorry if this isn't the response you're looking for, but as other people have already given recommendations for alternatives, I thought I would just give my 2 cents.

FYI for everyone, RED is a private tracker

Fair enough, I forgot to explicitly mention that 😅

Here's the interview site if anyone wants: https://interviewfor.red/. It's actually quite easy.

Thx, but there's also no shortage of music torrent sites. I use 1337x and TPB without issues for years now.

You don't need a private tracker. I use one because I have music needs that public trackers cannot satisfy.

In fact, I DO NOT recommend a private tracker unless you're ABSOLUTELY sure that public trackers cannot satisfy your needs.
