Steve is for the music you own, so let’s pool what we know about owning it.
Share what works for you:
- Stores for lossless and hi-res downloads (Bandcamp, Qobuz, HDtracks, 7digital, or the artist’s own site)
- Ripping your CDs, and which settings you use (for example XLD on Mac or Exact Audio Copy on Windows)
- Tagging and artwork tools (MusicBrainz Picard, Mp3tag…) and how you keep a big library tidy
- Getting files onto your iPhone: Wi-Fi import, the Files app, cloud folders
One rule: legal sources only. Links to pirated downloads will be removed.
