Hi!
I wanted to start to hoard my favorite tracks in the best possible quality.
A lot of stuff is available through Deezer or Tidal i know, but what sources are you guys using when FLACs for particular albums or songs cannot be found on Deezer or Tidal?
I wanted to get the Rock n Roll Train song from ACDC in FLAC, but Tidal doesn’t have it in FLAC.
Are there any good Public/Private trackers for Music?
surprised no mention of yt-dlp https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp - has support for (currently supported: best (default), aac, alac, flac, m4a, mp3, opus, vorbis, wav
yt-dlp downloads music from youtube which is encoded in either opus or aac. Yt dlp doesn’t actually download flacs,mp3… but convert the music from youtube into the desired format.
no it’s not an upscale or anything like that, you’re just making the file bigger but the audio bits/samples are 100% identical to the already damaged source file from youtube.
it’s like converting a JPEG back into RAW, you can technically do it, but it’s not gaining anything.

ah yea its not true lossless, but optimized upscale or the sort - but better than some ripping options out there
