Hi all,

I pirate plenty of games and films, but I haven’t pirated music in years. Recently, I’ve been using FOSS streaming alternatives that hook into Spotify or YouTube to avoid ads.

However, my Android is currently out of service (waiting on a new screen), so I’m using an old Nokia Lumia 1020. In 2025, it’s practically a dumb phone, so I need MP3s, WAVs, or FLAC files to have some sound in my life. I’m struggling to find music—my taste is eclectic and niche, and I’m also lazy. Are there any active communities in 2025 that focus on music piracy with curated playlists?

I’m specifically looking for:

Folk-punk
Post-punk
British indie
Swing

Any advice is welcome!-------

I couldn't find that one in search.

Oh, sorry. I forgot you'll have to add the IzzyOnDroid repo first

Edit: assuming you're fine with this

DISCLAIMER: As stated above, all .apk files are directly taken from the repositories of their resp. developers. They are provided under FOSS licenses, without any warranty, though we've taken some additional measures to provide our repository with additional transparency and safety checks (see the Security section below).

You can get Seeker directly from its github if that's all you want.

Edit2: there's an app for automating updates for apps installed directly but I can't remember the name.

Edit3: Seeker is also on the play store. 🤷‍♂️
