I still buy CDs for the highest possible bitrate and album art. That's how willing I am to pay for content.
I started torrenting movies again about a month ago. This shit is ridiculous. They made the situation absurd. I paid until it turned stupid again.
CD's are 16 bit, 44kHz, and can not go higher. There are higher mediums, tho I agree with your sentiment.
I use Musi and it has everything for free (I have no spotify) and acts like youtube red. No account needed. One ad if u don't pay.
24/192 rips from a half inch tape are the way to go.
You don't do anything with those though without a DAC that can play that without downsampling and an operating system with a sensible sound service.
And the right genre and good ears.
Going back to my Steely Dan collection ->
Good sound quality but shame about the loudness and compression on a lot of CD releases of the last 15 years or so though.
