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.

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

          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.
