How Do You Get Your Music?

Hi,

Just wanted to know how everyone got their music, especially music that is not readily available in the English speaking world such as Kpop/Cpop or whatever else !

Also, does converting youtube videos to mp3 files make the music quality terrible? (I've done this before when I cannot find certain songs or that particular audio is unavailable anywhere else because its a live version or something)

Thank you :)

  • possibly maybe kinda try changing itunes store to korean? and using apple music? Not sure if that would work though.

  • Youtube to MP3 converters will work but depends on the audio.
    You could also look at torrents

  • I download from filehosters using links on "sharing" websites. Sometimes I get torrents on the rare occasion I want something deemed popular. These days, I only download FLAC files. I was pleasantly surprised to discover my cheap Huawei Ascend Y550 phone plays them perfectly.

    • I found I was losing too much fidelity through downloading FLAC so I started grabbing uncompressed WAV files. I found that the difference between rar compressed WAV and uncompressed WAV was bigger than FLAC and MP3 it was night and day!

      • Fair enough, but for less-than-popular music, uncompressed WAV files are a rarity. So I make do with FLAC.

  • I usually download individual songs from mp3skull.com. And if i need to download an album I download it from torrentz. Conversion from mp4 to mp3 doesn't decrease the quality if you don't decrease it yourself.
