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.

I personally download YouTube videos, convert them to MP3 and then add metadata to them.

All tools I know support downloading mp3 or ogg directly. You could streamline your process there a bit.

I have streamlined and automized my entire process with a Python program I made. It allows me to select a video, select the corresponding song from Spotify, select certain parts that have to be cut off (such as intros and outros) and then it will automatically download the video, transcode it, cut off any segments, merge the metadata.

Oh, props to you then. You streamlined the whole "what's that song" process then.

not really a good solution, cuz it's not gonna be a nice quality audio, but just acceptable, nothing more...
