[Conroy] BMLP 174 digital download (possible scam)
« on: February 04, 2026, 09:53:53 PM »
So I stumbled across this Bandcamp link a few days ago and I was wondering if I could get a second opinion about it: otto-sieben.bandcamp.com/album/all-about-brass-vol-2-french-horns

I'm pretty apprehensive about it as while the input URL guarantees that you can listen to the album there (ialbum.org/mlx7), you have to make a freediscussions.com account to do so, but I did read some negative reviews on Reddit and Trustpilot regarding users having trouble cancelling their free trials and getting charged for their services regardless. Also, the Bandcamp user that made this page did not post any tracks from this album nor gave his real name, but gave an out of order track listing and made the page under the album's composer name, Otto Sieben.

Just putting it out there as to not keep anyone's hopes up about a possible free download of a Conroy album that has not seen a digital reissue nor a vinyl rip that has not even been posted onto the forums as of yet. I mean, I would love to have this record as well, but it's just best to go somewhere else more trustworthy to make a real purchase.

You may be right kablamatic. It's unclear why someone with clearly no knowledge of library music would "stumble" upon this Conroy release. I mean, everyone's heard of Otto Sieben haven't they? The Content Blockers on my browser prevent me from connecting with the link shown suggesting there's something not quite right.

This is most likely a scam link, as I've seen plenty of other links like this as well, and not just from Bandcamp, but from other scam sites claiming to have library releases that have not been ripped on here (Or anywhere else), including 78 releases as well for that matter. I usually never interact with those scam sites, for obvious reasons. I believe some of those scam sites claiming to have releases also have fake reviews in their reviews section (If it has one) as well.

Well, this is the only one I've seen so far, but it's good to keep an eye out for other similar pages like this. The only place I would look for library records are Ebay and Discogs.
