Does anyone have good site recommendations for lossless files such as flac’s specifically for music.
Not a site, but Nicotine+ is where you can drop anchor.
SoulSeekQT is a free p2p file sharing service specifically for music and you can specify file types or bitrate in filters.
Nicotine also can do similar stuff if you just add *.flac to the search field.
Wow, didn’t know this was still a thing. Used to love Soulseek back in 2004.
Soulseek is my past, present and future.
💯
Soulseek
Check out private torrent trackers. Look for Orpheous and Redacted, OPH/RED.
SLSK
Soulseek is where its at
For flac albums, try galxytorrent2 or RUtracker.

Mostly for me, Qobuz rips (through SlavArt) are the best. But if for some reason you can’t get what you want on Qobuz, I typically look it up on Soulseek and 99% of the time I found what I’m looking for
I used to like slavart. I found out about them while they still allowed album downloads on their website. Later I moved to their divolt website (like a selfhosted discord) where they allowed downloads via bots.
At some point they decided not to bother with divolt and told everyone to start using their discord bot. Anyone who had concerns about privacy or about using their main discord account for piracy was pretty much told that they were an idiot and should go fuck themselves.
At that point I transitioned to ripping directly from quobus as explained in this guide. If I can’t find what I want on quobuz I go to deezer.
Usenet is actually a way better source for FLAC.
My indexer is garbage for FLAC. Got any suggestions?
I’ll have to get back to you once I fix Synology webstation yet again.
No worries. Synology are so fickle, good luck.

Plenty of albums get ripped lossless(typically FLAC) and uploaded to Usenet
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.
