I often used this site to download flac songs that I was unable to find on SLSK or other torrents. Is there an alternative to this site that anyone knows of. It will be missed.
If you learn how an encoder works you can compress the FLAC into whatever format you prefer yourself. I highly recommend 256kbps AAC using Apple’s encoder (specifically that encoder, other AAC encoders are much worse) but you can also do VBR MP3 in any bitrate you want. Plus, if you keep the FLACs in archive, you can re-compress them later to a better format if one is developed.
Hey, thank you for the advice.
I’m aware of the function of an encoder, and use ffmpeg to re-encode the files from .flac to .mp3. But I was looking for a “more comfortable” way.
