Title says it. Is anyone still on the newsgroups? For reasons I need to amass a large collection of music in MP3 format, preferably full albums, and I'd like to do it somewhat quickly. Is there a better place to hunt before I buy news server access? I been on land for too many years.

Usenet is still very much alive.

For music, I use Lidarr (along with the rest of the arr stack) and Headphones as an indexer.

It doesn't have absolutely everything that I want but enough to make it worth the price.

Never heard of headphones, what is it exactly?
