A hundred times soulseek, all the music nerds are there!

I still use soulseek. Works great. No I haven’t tried anything else for 15 years.

Try RuTracker.

I use Chosic to find music and then download with SquidWTF

Soul seek, although a lot of folk punk bands have their shit for free on bandcamp, all of Pat The Bunny’s stuff at least I’m sure

If you haven't already done it, Pat (the Bunny) put all his stuff on archive and he's far from the only one.

I subscribe to Deezer but use Deemix to download the FLAC files without DRM for my personal library. If the music you want is on Deezer, then you can download it.

I always go back to just torrents.

If you're not opposed to doing it yourself, you can sign up for a free trial to Tidal and rip it.

Qobuz and OrpheusDL. I used to use Deezer and deemix but it’s hardly possible to find working accounts anymore

Rutracker,bandcamp, yt-dlp with extract to mp3 :)

I just use RED. The user collages are pretty nice to find new albums.

I just download mp3 files from youtube using yt-dlp (laptop) or newpipe (android)

Wait, FOSS alternatives that hook? Are they in Fdroid?

I like Nicotine for Soulseek, but it's been some time since I got on there, like pre-pandemmy

Idk about curated playlists but I use soulseek to share files with my friends.

I like the same genres, I can recommend you some albums I've been liking if you want
