Sources for FLAC Music (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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?

Cheers.

I would use Soulseek for that

I didn't know about it until a few days ago somehow (I'm kinda getting back into sailing at the moment after a long break), and I can confirm it's great and easy to get into. Has loads of flac too even if I prefer to stick to 320kbps MP3.

Soulseek and then set the search filter to only .flac

Redacted and Orpheus are good private general music trackers with loads of FLACs. Join by interview or getting an invite.

Orpheus is good. I used to have an account but it got disabled because I wasnt using it as much as I thought I would. Great tracker. They do a lot to make sure you can keep your ratio positive.

[-] onescomplement@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Too add on to this, many private trackers will not disable your account for inactivity if you reach a certain user class or make a one time donation (including OPS).

Plus reaching out to the staff on IRC is a good way to have an account re-enabled if it does get disabled.

Nicotine+ (Soulseek)

[-] ashok36@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

A $15 deezer subscription will last you a month and you can download as much flac quality tracks as you want with deezloader or deemix. They don't have everything but they have a lot.

[-] DeJaVu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Getting a tidal trial and using tidal downloader would be better imo. In my experience you can get multiple trials even with the same CC when using different email address, have done it 4+ times with the same CC.

[-] sixpercent@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Search: "tidal-dl GitHub".

I think they have a Spotify version linked as well.

[-] zaph@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That may save to the FLAC format but is it going to be actual FLAC quality?

[-] sixpercent@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You may need a premium account for FLAC. But from what I can tell by reading the code in the repo, it does infact download in lossless FLAC format.

Otherwise it looks like you can download the free-tier quality by choosing that in the settings.

[-] godless@latte.isnot.coffee 5 points 1 year ago

Yep, that's my go-to as well. Their own search it shit though, but site:rutracker.ru on google works great.

[-] denemdenem@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I'm fucked up, I read it as nutcracker for a sec

[-] obsolete@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

One thing I like about rutracker, is that the sources are apparently checked. Whereas sources from Soulseek for example, could be Youtube rips that are "upscaled" to flac.

[-] gingerplease@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 1 year ago

There is a really good torrent on TL that has just about every version of every song they played up until 2016. I’ll admit, it is a bit overwhelming and ~300GB in size. Look for:

ACDC - Collection 1978-2016 [273 ALBUMS] FLAC

[-] PunchEnergy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah that's quite big. I'll look into it, hopefully it's freeleech.

[-] LeafyPasserine@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

Soulseek via Nicotine+, you can filter for file type and bitrate as well as avoid those assholes who lock all their files for trading.

[-] BlackSpasmodic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

This! I'm rebuilding my collection right now so its great to just copy whole chunks of other people's libraries.

[-] Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Seems like this question gets asked every week, and every time this is my answer.

[-] Headbangerd17@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

If you're looking for rock/metal then en.metal-tracker.com usually has lots of flac rips.

[-] Nihilistic_Mystics@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Metal tracker is the best around. Now if only I could get a signup confirmation email to go through.

[-] COOLSJ@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Rutracker maybe 🤔

[-] MrPlow@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago
  • soulseek
  • rutracker
  • Usenet
  • deezloader or tidal-dl
  • hd24net (you'll need a mega account)

R/Rip requests used to be a good source before it got shut down.

[-] briongloid@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Deemix with a free trial of Deezer, I've downloaded 2,000 albums this week.

[-] QuikxSpec@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Are you just mass downloading and sorting later? Or actually archiving the lot

[-] briongloid@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I was replacing a specific library, from FLAC down to 320 for more seamless remote streaming.

Deemix has good folder sorting and naming in the settings.

[-] QuikxSpec@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That's cool. Just interested...2000 albums, that's a nice collection I'm sure! Was expecting some obscure oversized collection of Mongolian throat metal lol

[-] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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
