I don't understand the point of a private tracker tbh

You'll know when you need it. Until then, don't sweat it.

Me neither. I've never been a member on one, but I don't have too much trouble finding and downloading what I need.

For a lot of people, it's a community thing. I'm a member on Orpheus and they have a lot of great community stuff like Album of the Month, user made scripts, tutorials, forums, etc. They can also have a lot higher quality content and moderation because they're so "exclusive". And, for music, a private tracker is gonna be 100x better than a public one or Soulseek.
