Spotify vs. YouTube vs. my private stash

Well, Spotify has basically every song, but only seldom has the specific recordings that I'm looking for; YouTube was better before I deleted my profile during a panic last year, as I'd spent ages programming it to find the obscure show records. My private collection is about half what it was, but I found a torrent site which had most of the stuff that Demonoid and 7Tor used to have: https://rutracker.org/forum/index.php It's great for contemporary classical/jazz and HIP, alright for pop etc. - See, don't say I don't share re: classical buffs -- if you'd ever bothered to socialise with me, you'd have known I can find pretty much anything if you ask me. My piracy skills should be legendary, but I think B was the only person I ever sent a Plex invite to who wasn't a flattie or a drug acquaintance. - And same for film buffs. I've got a favour to ask of any Wellington film buffs -- does anyone have a VHS player? I want to watch Absent Without Leave, but AroVideo only has a VHS copy. There's a segment of the movie on NZ on Screen, and that was intriguing. 👍
