I want to pirate high bit-rate music (>=256 kbps) but I'm unable to find a source. ThePirateBay and 4kVideoDownloader won't work. YT Vanced doesn't go higher than 128 kbps.

What about Nicotine+? Works great, its a client for soulseek. The quality is much higher most of the time.

It's in Russian. Search results in English won't show up.

I just use Firefox’s auto-translate feature. You might need to make an account for search to work

Nonsense, everything is labelled with its original title there. If you're looking for Russian music there you'll probably have to use the Russian band name, but otherwise not.

Just create account there with translator and search for section hi res on main page

Does it work for Android? What's the procedure for downloading a song (say, despacito)?

It's a desktop client for soulseek: https://github.com/Nicotine-Plus/nicotine-plus

Install, login/register, share your data then search. Filter the results by file format, sort by download speed etc. Soulseek is a very old file sharing platform, work the same way since 2001. A lot of peers don't allow downloading from them if you don't share anything.

For Android I found SeekerAndroid, never used it.

Seeker is very nice I use it

for Android there is a client named seeker. you need to create an account (mainly just a username and password) after that its pretty much setup. You can search for the song that you want, download it and if possible also seed/share it with other people :)
