I often used this site to download flac songs that I was unable to find on SLSK or other torrents. Is there an alternative to this site that anyone knows of. It will be missed.

Crap.
But it already enshittified slightly. It had ad-block blocking and hostile tracking BS added recently. You'd have to manually unclick each vendor for the "Genuine interest" section which would take like 2 minutes as you had to click it one-by-one.
Could have just kept the ads as they were and added a donation button.
Anyway, I've also been using http://flacmusicfinder.com/ as well. However, this one just links to user-added content, so the quality may vary. I recommend using Spek to check the FLACs.
It's not as nice to navigate, but oh well, you only download every song once anyway.
For the vendor (non-)consent thing - Consent-O-Matic provides an appropriate framework.
(Whether such a side would even care about the preference/consent is another matter entirely - I'd suggest a throwaway browser identity and cookie auto delete for a start, anyway.)
Creating rules has a bit of a learning curve the first three or seven times, but I find that more interesting to do than go through a hostile/dark pattern cookie dialog or such the third time.
Hm, maybe the appropriate functionality from CoM could be re-wrapped as a TamperMonkey module...
Web automation for the masses 😱
Or just activate Easylist - cookie notices list in ublock
