Yeah, unless Spotify, Deezer and similar services die or become too greedy you really don't have a reason to come back to music trackers again.
Yeah. I've still got my massive music collection from those private trackers backed up on a couple external drives, so I already have most of what I want/need stored in a couple different locations. And you can find 320kbps rips of stuff on public trackers these days. Might not has the same pedigree as someone on a private tracker using EAC and making sure everything runs perfectly, but it's good enough for me.
Yeah, plus every indie band/artist these days have their own bandcamp page. There's always flac available on public trackers for mainstream artist/band. You might not be missing anything.
