To start off with I want to make it clear, I'm planning on buying music from the artists when I can either on band camp or buying a cd/going to a show and buying merch. Seeing how badly Spotify compensates artists and how much my musicians are struggling I decided to cancel my Spotify premium and spend my money on their merch at shows. So in the mean time I want to pirate the music.
I know some people will suggest torrentz, trust me they don't exist for some of the songs I'm looking for. I've got over 10K songs to look for and about 7 of the first hundred had torrentz i could find (i looked around more than a few sites, and some of those torrentz have stuck at 0% in the weeks they've been active). The only consistent place I've found songs is on youtube. So far I've manually been going through and using an mp3 converter converting the songs. 1 by 1. (oh boy was that a bad idea, in the 3 weeks I've been doing it I've only just reached 100 songs)
I do know some coding (python mostly) I'm debating trying to write a program to replicate the process I've manually been doing but I have no idea how to do that or where to start. Would anybody more experienced or with a better solution be able to advice me?
(I was going to post this on a sub red for coding or programming but the ones I found have rules that don't allow me to ask about this)
