KING

I sell my own fanart/merch at video game conventions as a side hustle & last year I burned 100 CDs of D&B/Jungle/Happy Hardcore music and handed them out to anyone that bought $50+ worth of stuff. Everyone thought it was awesome. I actually bumped into one of the guys I handed a CD to at another convention a few weeks ago and he told me I inspired him to burn his own CDs. Which was very validating lol

I get at least 1/3rd of my MP3s the super old fashioned way; by renting CDs from the library and ripping them lol. It does help that I live in a big city with an interconnected library system. Or you could try archive.org.
