So the vk.com music crawler program called "pirate app" I've been using for years was finally broken for good when they completely removed the audio API.
I would never illegally download music (thats illegal!) but my friend would, how do elite hackers on steroids do that these days?
Most use Spotify or join a private music tracker (sometimes even both). Spotify for discovery and music trackers for quality + archiving.
soulseek
soulseek is actually the best choice, you can find literally anything

This. If you aren't going to get into private trackers this is your zero effort answer for an amazing selection of music. Quality varies but it's usually higher than YouTube ripping and the like.
Rutracker.org, loseless flac and full discographies, you can get past the Russian since you can search music in English.
some soulseek, some torrents, some ddl from various places like blogs, this site, etc
Download: Private tracker(s), Bandcamp.
Stream: Spotify, Pandora, Google Music.

Since KAT is dead I use rutracker for almost all of my torrents, including music (I understand most of the russian though)
sometimes go to /mu/'s archive @ rbt.asia for new releases
