minus-squareAnEmotionalCabbage@lemmynsfw.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·1 year agoIt’s pretty much one of the only ways to make sure the artist gets a half decent cut though. Unless you want to use bandcamp, which is much easier.

P.S.: Subject to your local law which may prohibits ripping a CD. This is NOT a legal advise. Edit: I don’t know if my statement is right or not given the downvotes. Can someone explain?
