Visits to music piracy websites went up more than 13 percent last year, a new report says. The majority of those visits were to sites that allow users to download the audio from YouTube URLs.

Soulseek is good for downloading albums and discographies, soundiiz, qobuz-dl and deemix-gui are good for that and also playlists of whatever. It's also a good way to get FLACs. I download genre mixes, pitchfork's top albums, it's a good way to get 80gb of music in a night. It's taken me 3 months to get that much off Soulseek. Sometimes you want to try out artists without downloading their whole discography.
