Does anyone have good site recommendations for lossless files such as flac’s specifically for music.

Soulseek with Nicotine+.

There’s a lossless filter.

Doubling down on Soulseek through Nicotine+.

Some of the prominent names cannot be found there due to lawsuits, but majority of music is in there, one search bar away.

Also, it works well for films, series, and even games sometimes.

While Soulseek is a great option, would recommend Deemix as the primary download method unless Deezer hosted album is some very bad remaster and you need to hunt down older release. You either need a premium account or find something called “ARL cookie” to download above 128 kbps MP3.

Worth noting that the absolute best quality Deezer has is 44,1kHz 16-bit lossless, and most songs there are MP3 anyway.

If this is good enough for you, absolutely go for it. If you’re looking to download high-quality music from a streming service, you can use tidal-dl (or tidal-gui for more convenience) combined with Tidal - though it’s worth noting Tidal has been subject to some controversies regarding some of the master quality albums, too.

Can’t comment on FLAC quality / availability to be honest because I download only 320 kbps MP3. I just know there is a quality setting for it.

Sign up for a free trial of Tidal. Use tidal-dl from GitHub

Seconding this, as it’s my go-to for anything that’s not for sale on Bandcamp and has treated me well.

This is really good. If you VPN to Nigeria it only costs $2.70 a month.
