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.

Theoretically youtube doesn't offer as high a quality as flac or wav files do.

Practically for most people it probably doesn't matter

Pretty much it,streaming is so convenient too

At some point I wrote a docker container (with some help from a friend) which regularly executes yt-dlp to download my youtube playlists to my media server.

I mostly do that because I have limited mobile data and want offline copies of music
