Except when the ID3 tags get all messed up and you spend a whole Saturday afternoon fixing your entire library. Granted that's how I taught myself how to program, so it's a win/win I guess.

I support piracy because it's educational. We need to invest in the future of technology by encouraging people to pirate. To that end, I propose more anti piracy ads.

Depends on your usecase. I would never go back. Spotify has release radar etc. It's so much more convenient to find new music by your favourite artists or similar ones now.
