I’m coming into this area as a practical and philosophical result of:

  1. me wanting to own my music
  2. CDs are barely being made
    2.1. If they are - they’re not being shipped to my corner of the world
  3. Torrenting often failed me in terms of variety.

However - I am absolutely ignorant about equipment, maintainance, and know-hows of the audiophile world.

    As someone who is flirting with the idea of attempting to own my media, I have a question for you. If I couldn’t find a torrent for some song I wanted, is there a recommended tool or path for “collecting” my own version of a song? I don’t see myself getting into such a situation where I want some super obscure song, but knowing I have a path for getting a version from one of the major streaming services to bridge any gap I come across would be nice. Where would one go to learn how to safely collect rare/difficult to torrent music files?
