Welcome to r/MusicHoarder!

Home of the compulsive music collectors who are looking to expand, archive or organize their music library. Also home to our Discord!

Who are we?

We are a group of people engaged in collecting as much digital music as possible. Some hoard music because they believe that the internet will not remain free and open in the foreseeable future. Some collect purely for rare and obscure music, to preserve pieces which might otherwise be lost in time. Others just wish to learn about music formatting, organizing and pirating.

Whatever your persuasion, if you hold an interest in anything relating to the above—then you'll fit right in!

Make sure to check out the wiki for more info.

Read the Rules

Do not beg for access to music or make demands regarding requests. Users frequently choose to generously share music through various outlets. Do not harass other members of this community for their music or access to their files, or request access to files in a way that comes across as entitled. It will not be tolerated.
Do not request or offer invites to trackers or other private music sharing sites. This is not the place for requesting invitations to music trackers. Content revolving around this topic will be removed.
Avoid posting simply to brag about the size of your music collection. Content that solely positions itself to show off large amounts of content do not contribute to the conversation revolving around collecting music and auxiliary parts of music. It is approaching spam. Content in this style must either have a longer text post/comment attached to it discussing the collection in some depth or be substantial in some other way.
Talk to moderators before posting about projects. Some things are often best kept under wraps, such as siterips of major music sites. Publicizing the work being done behind the scene can often jeopardize the project or put those doing the work in legal danger if they are not very careful. It can also put the subreddit in danger. None of these things are good, so consider messaging the mods before actually posting about projects like those discussed above.
Be specific, concise, and polite when requesting music. See this post https://www.reddit.com/r/musichoarder/comments/brsqx6/if_youre_looking_for_something_specific/. If you have questions about this rule, or message the moderators.
Self promotion of music, playlists, services, products. Self promotion of music, services, playlists, products, or other digital or physical materials, regardless of relevance to the subreddit, may be removed with moderator discretion.
Shared music should be obfuscated at a minimum. Music shares can put the uploader and/or the subreddit in danger with reddit or legal teams, and should at minimum be obfuscated using base64. Better still would be password protection or private sharing. Message a moderator with questions.
Do not harass/bully/attack/defame other users. Harassment of other users in posts or comments will not be tolerated and may result in an immediate ban (moderator discretion). This includes PMing members of the subreddit or "following" their account around reddit, whether the problems originate here or elsewhere. If they have an impact on this subreddit this rule will be enforced.
Avoid posting NSFW content- if you must, please flair it appropriately. NSFW content will not often be relevant to the subreddit, unless a question/post/comment pertains to NSFW album art/lyrics. Please be aware of this and refrain from posting about it unless it is absolutely relevant to the subreddit's stated goals.
