I was. Until they made that so difficult and time consuming that the barrier to entry was too high. Not because of the price. But because of availability. When Google play music was a thing? I bought music. When streaming took over I moved to Bandcamp. But Bandcamp doesn’t have everything. There’s no music stores anymore where I can just go and buy music. It’s all Amazon and similar.
I’d love to own the ghibli collection. But to get it I have to buy the DVD’s (and have a DVD player to play them on), or I have to pirate them. No digital store front seems to have the whole collection. This happens all the time with media that I’m willing to pay for.
Yeah, just buy yourself a dvd/blu-ray player just to rip it, wait for the disk to arrive, connect it to your computer and set aside the time to rip it (if you even know how).
Such a reasonable alternative to setting up radarr one time and watching the movie immediately. Can’t have a digital storefront where I get to own my digital copy.
Along with bandcamp, there’s Qobuz, 7digital, and HDTracks that I can recommend for digital music downloads. Those other three often have what bandcamp does not, much more common songs. Many in 24-bit.

Buy the dvds and rip them…

That is extremely inconvenient and jist feels wrong. There’s no reason a digital file has to be tied to an inconvenient, small-volume media.

Man. Google play music. Fucking miss that service.
Found so much good music… Still hurts me it died.
Me too boss
Pretty sure all of Studio Gihibli is on Fandango/Vudu.
So… buy the DVDs? Or any other Ghibli merch.
