Is music piracy dying? (vlemmy.net)

Most of the discussion and sources of content talk about movies and series.

I've been recently looking for psy and techno music, finding FLAC or WAV with active seeders feels like striking gold. It's definitely been a while since I've looked for active torrent sites and it feels more barren than ever.

Edit: Thank you all for all that valuable information. The reddit group really wasn't this helpful and valued making fun over adding real use able knowledge.

Not for me, I don't like to have my music online, I download every song that I like and keep it stored on my drives. I mostly download from Youtube

I download music from Deezer, 90% of what I want is there. For the remaining 10% I use SoulSeek.

As long as it works, it's all good.

I was downloading videos from youtube with Safefrom(aka ssyoutube) until I discovered youtube-dl a few days ago

I remember using SaveFrom for a few months after ClipConverter.cc banned downloading music and music videos from YouTube. However like you I then discovered youtube-dl (now yt-dlp) and I haven't even looked back since. It's truly the best out there.
