I recently made a post asking about getting spotify cheaper via vpn.

My question to everyone: how do you decide what to download?

Do you just grab everything, do you use last fm, do you erase music that you never listen to?

    Like other people, whole discographies. Artist URL straight into deemix and let it do it’s thing.

    For finding new music, I mostly rely on radiostations such as Kerrang! and YouTube subscriptions or recommendations.

    MP3 320 is what I go for, I don’t have the equipment to benefit from FLAC.

    I set and forget too, never delete. You never know when it’ll become impossible to get that data back if you want it.

      You should check out last.fm (or musicbrainz, which I prefer since its open source). You connect your apps to it (Plex, tidal, Spotify, etc), they send over songs as you listen to them, you can rank them as love or hate (and some other stuff) and they curate playlists and artists that they think you’ll like based on your listening habits
