    …and now the subscription turned to shit and they need to find FLACs of all their favorite music, because they encoded their MP3s in shitty quality in the 2000s.

      Soulseek is right there if you want to sail the high seas. Bandcamp and other online retailers have offered FLAC for decades. If you didn’t trash your CDs you can still rip them to FLAC, an external drive (if you need one) is like $30.

      I get it, I have hundreds of GB of old shitty downloads from YouTube, poorly done cd rips, downloads from god knows where. All in various stages of completely absent labelling and tagging.

      But I’m not going to pretend it’s anyone’s problem but my own due to my previous choices, and I’m not going to pretend like there aren’t plenty of tools to help fix it like MusicBrainz Picard.
