Title
I’m tired of spotify giving me random issues.
What’s a good replacement for this?
I misread the title and thought you were asking for the best music for piracy. I was gonna suggest Alestorm.
Seal is a very good app to download audio from YouTube, you can get it on f-droid or GitHub
Nice try, Sony.
The best piracy for music is digital piracy. Literal ship-based piracy is very inefficient when it comes to acquiring tunes.

Checked pinned megathread?
Deemix - Downloads from Deezer in 320 kbps mp3 or FLAC. You need to have premium account for high quality downloads or find something called ARL cookies for login on the web. Looks like original download source is down, but there are checksums so just hunt down a mirror that matches them
Soulseek - P2P sharing specifically for music
Seconding Soulseek. It’s basically limewire, but music-specific and the type of people who use it tend to be big music afficianados, so it has just about anything you can think of
Soulseek using Nicotine+ is the best solution I found so far, if you are happy with worse quality you can alos get it from Youtube but on Soulseek you often find flac and mp3 to choose from, just make sure to redistribute a little too! ;)
For rock/metal: https://en.metal-tracker.com
Its not actually pirating, but vimusic is free youtube music with no adds and it doesnt need account. Its amazing if you need it on phone only
several people have mentioned soulseek and I agree but nicotine+ is better than the official soulseekQt client
Deemix to DL all your music. And media servers like JellyFin/Emby/Plex to host the data. That’s the only way to get the best Music Exp.
I was thinking about setting up a jellyfin server that could be publicly accessible from a domain I own. Something like jellyfin.neocamel.com, which would point to my jellyfin server on my home windows PC, but it sounds like that opens up some pretty serious security concerns.
I think you can set up a cloudfare tunnel to alleviate security concerns and it seems like an easy setup
