Is music piracy dying?

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.

Music is a weird subject for me. I download practically everything else to have a copy of it on my hard drives. 30+TB of anime, movies, tv shows, manga, audiobooks, etc but music is the one thing I dont really download or listen to very often. I have a modded Spotify app that I use for the times I do listen to music. I do this so i dont have to pay for a subscription, but that is as far as my music piracy goes.

What is the modded spotify app and how does it work?

So I use an apk from a private forum but Im pretty sure you can find some on mobilism (I cannot vouch for them as I dont specifically know if that apk I use cam from there). The modded app pretty much just remove ads and allows unlimited skips and stuff of that sort. It pretty much gives all the perks of the paid subsciption but free. You can find many of them around but the thing is just making sure its not spyware or adware (this is where knowing where/how/who modded the app is important). I looked at mobilism, there are a few on there, but I have never used apks from mobilism before or knoq anything about how well/safe they run

Someone mentioned spotube, maybe revanced also has ytmusic.
