I recently got into the piracy community, and discovered a great open source app for Android that allows you to stream music for free from YouTube music! It's called ViMusic and it's one of the best free music apps imo. It has a beautiful and customizable interface and it actually has a music recommendation algorithm which is one of the main reasons people still pay for music subscriptions like Apple Music instead of pirating. This app has been really helpful to me and I hope that it can be to you too :)
I do too, but I still listen to stuff on ViMusic because it makes reccomendations based on what you listen to, and I think they're better than normal YouTube reccomendations. If I find a song I like, then I just download it and listen to it.
Yeah downloading is also great, but this is good for people who just want a Spotify alternative or something and just want to stream rather than download.
