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.

    You can pay for any streaming service that serves FLAC and rip that. Very easy to do for Tidal and Deezer for example.

      And you don’t need to pay. Just google Deezer premuim ARLs and plug that into Deemix and profit. Full FLAC quality

        I don’t like using other people’s hacked account. Keeping music data after my licensed agreement (which is still going, actually) seems like a crime no one actually loses from. Using someone else’s hacked account seems highly, highly unethical to me.

          It’s usually not a hacked account. Most of them are free trials from binned credit cards. There are groups out there that will share bins that work for certain services like Tidal/Deezer/Qobuz. Once you get the free trial, you use it for a month and then you start the next one

            I’ve paid monthly for Deezer HiFi in the past like 3 years, I don’t consider it unethical to store the FLACs on my PC so I can use my own local music player to listen to them as long as I keep paying for the service.

            I do consider it unethical to scam Deezer into giving me new trials every month. I’m not one to tell you what to do or not do, but I don’t personally want to do that.

              Fair enough, but you are also commenting this on a community for piracy so…

                Yeah but there’s piracy that creates “lost opportunity cost” (which is just companies complaining) and piracy that actually uses servers/services without paying for them.

                  You can have your opinion and I can have mine. It just baffles me that you’re talking about lost opportunity costs and “hurting corporations” on a community dedicated to Piracy

                    you’re talking about lost opportunity cost

                    I explicitly said that I think this is not problematic. I don’t see how that is weird in a piracy community

                    I think you can be an ethical pirate. As long as companies can not see your existence by any measurement (server cost, bandwidth allocation), whatever you do is ethical in my eyes.

                    If you didn’t exist the company would be in the exact same state, so why should your existence on this planet mean they deserve anything more?

                    Does that not qualify me as a pirate? Lol
