Hi all,

I pirate plenty of games and films, but I haven’t pirated music in years. Recently, I’ve been using FOSS streaming alternatives that hook into Spotify or YouTube to avoid ads.

However, my Android is currently out of service (waiting on a new screen), so I’m using an old Nokia Lumia 1020. In 2025, it’s practically a dumb phone, so I need MP3s, WAVs, or FLAC files to have some sound in my life. I’m struggling to find music—my taste is eclectic and niche, and I’m also lazy. Are there any active communities in 2025 that focus on music piracy with curated playlists?

I’m specifically looking for:

  • Folk-punk
  • Post-punk
  • British indie
  • Swing

Any advice is welcome!-------

    If you’re downloading music honestly there’s no better alternative than soulseek.

    Although I’d get the app nicotine+ it’s a graphical client of slsk with a much better UI and more features…
