Reddit Download Flac Music
Nancy Benigar
So I have a bit of a dilemma, I have really good kit (HD 660s) and I have all of my music 128kb/s mp3 because of the lack of storage on my old macbook. At 128kb/s I have 50gb of music. At flac or wav that sounds like a lot of storage, so Is there a point in me getting all of it on my desktop in flac?
Step 1 - Head over to Tidal (A music streaming service like Spotify) web player and sign up then search
for whatever you are looking for and copy the album link from 'more' tab.
Step 2 - Go to this page and create an account, then in the server's 'music dl request' page type "!dl
(album link)
I'm a music enthusiast, but my gear isn't quite good. I've been planing on upgrading it, and I figured I should upgrade my music quality too since I'm using Spotify Prenium. where can I find free/cheap FLAC music? (am broke)
I have almost 300GB of MP3s. Most of them are either v0 or 320kbps, I have a fair amount of AAC as well. When I can, I transcode from flac to mp3 myself with LameXP to guarantee good transcoding options (v0, best quality).
However, with my library going more and everyday, I'm starting to think I should move to flac since lossless is great for archiving purpose and I'd have more freedom for transcoding. Right now I'm stuck with my MP3s. I'm considering using OPUS for my laptop and my phone, so I could store more songs, using 96kbps files instead of 260kbps.
So now that you have an overview of my situation, I would like to know what you recommend to me to replace my library with .flac. Is there a way to automate the process? If it implies things you can't share in here, please PM me. It seems to me there are three steps:
I was wondering if anyone knew of places to get free FLAC/Lossless recordings or the best strategy for purchasing affordable digital records. Are there annual sales? Sites with lesser known artists or classical music for much more affordable prices?
I am all about paying artists for their work, but it's incredibly expensive to build up a library of digital music. 1 album costs the same, and oftentimes more, than 1 month of any music streaming service. It's kind of wild, there's got to be a middle ground in the music industry that lets people purchase music in a competitive market with the streaming services. I think people would buy a lot more music!
I'm thinking end result is that I could stream my music on a few devices, but more importantly, I could access it via just an old wifi-enabled Android phone as a remote that could play to my speakers in another room.
Hi, I'm looking on which site is the best to find full albums in FLAC file. I've tried piratebay but it's very limited. Is there any sites which contains only for music files and albums? Thank you so much!
My workflow has typically been to download music in FLAC, convert it to 320kbps myself, tinker with the tags, and toss it in my collection. But I've considered redownloading my whole collection and storing them as FLAC instead, as I do have equipment and ears that can resolve the subtle difference in audio quality.
Hey there. So I usually buy my own flac music from qobuz or beatport. I know tidal is really and all but like to use my own player on android plus there are more options. Also can get extended mixes and more songs. I've not noticed to much with the 2 as far as ldac bluetooth is concerned or aptx adaptive. I know bluetooth is going cd but until then what do you all think?
The only non-vanilla feature of this folder is that it is being synced with my QNAP NAS using the Qsync application. Would that stop BackBlaze backing it up? If not, how do I persuade BackBlaze to backup my music folder?
I'm a minor and I just bought a pair of Sennheiser HD 599 with all the money I had and, as the minor I am, I don't have a credit card so I can't really buy FLACs online and my parents really hate using their credit card online so that's out of question. I was wondering if anyone could share links of free legal FLAC music. Jazz would be prefered but anything will do, I'm not picky.
Got an iphone and need a music player for my mostly FLAC music library, so I transferred some music using iMazing and decided to try the default music app. I was under the impression that apple music couldnt play FLAC files, but theyre playing for me. iphone x 14.8
When I go to the downloaded music directory in the music settings, the FLAC files do appear a little bigger than they are on my pc, by about 1-2 mb. However, so do the mp3 files, but only by about .2-1 mb. Idk if this is an iOS quirk?
I recently bought some higher quality speakers and I absolutely love it. I won't say they're what audiophiles want but I listen to my music and it just sounds amazing to me and has me developing an addiction. So I heard from a person that Dire Straits music is what some audio people use to test an audio setup before shows and such. So that's one discography I'll get. Also, music I previously didn't care for now sounds great to me.
I was always angry about that I don't hear a difference between mp3 and flac. But now I wonder if the reason could be that my Pc isn't really capable to play uncompressed audio? I mean, of course it is able to play back flac files. I have Foobar2000 and it works really well. But can it be that the hardware of my Pc can't put out that sound?? Because when I record something, even in the best quality, it goes never higher than 24 khz. So, can it be that my Pc also isn't able to reproduce higher frequencies than 24khz at all and that's the reason why I never hear a difference? Do I really need an extra dac to reproduce higher bitrates? Windows Settings say it would be able to play Studioquality 24 bit 192000hz. But is that really true? My hardware is a Msi Z87-G45-Gaming Motherboard and it's audiodevice is a Realtek ALC1150. I have no extra dac... I also never hear a difference on my phone. I have a Galaxy S7, can it playback higher bitrates? I only noticed that all headphones sound more powerful on the phone, except my Sennheiser HD 558, which sounds WAY BETTER on the Pc...
If it is actually being compressed when you zip or rar it and the quality is being lossed, what happens when you unzip it? Will it no longer be flac even though it still has a flac Extension? Am I still going to get a spectrogram that satisfies flac characteristics?
So I am kind of on the edge of falling into the "rabbit hole" as you audiophiles like to say, and I saw a lot about FLAC files and whatnot. I saw that a lot of people were streaming with Tidal for the 1.4mbps bitrate, and that all sounded really cool. Until of course I try it myself and there was very little gain. Granted I use somewhat "mainstream" equipment (Senn 598 open backs and some Klipsch promedia 2.1s) and I don't have a crazy DAC/AMP yet so maybe that's why I can't tell the difference. BUT, I read about how a good amount of people say the same thing and the only response that makes sense was something along the lines of "when you recode to another format you won't lose as much quality". That's cool and all but if that's the case then why are you paying a premium for a streaming service (essentially renting music) which I'm assuming is not DRM-free? I'd like to hear (lol) your guys thoughts on this, not here to start any arguments or anything, just want to get some good reasons why I should keep my Tidal subscription over cheaper Apple Music. I should mention I am a college student and I use a student account for both services.
I've recently started collecting flacs, and in just a couple of days now I have close to 20 gb of music on my phone, luckily I had around 150 free gb of space but I'm now wondering what would be a good point to stop lol
I mostly look for 16bit 44.1 flacs, since for my personal use going higher is just a waste of memory, and the quality for me is already good enough, but I could find some downloads only in 24-96, and so a certain percentage of those 20 gb is made of like 2-3 albums in too high res lol
Hi all,I'm currently looking for a solution to my mancave audio setup. I'm going to have a Yamaha 5.1 speaker setup off an Onkyo amp,I want to have a tv in the mancave,and be able to browse and play my flac files from an external HDD. Is the shield the solution that I'm looking for in this case? Or any other suggestions? Would be good to be able to cue songs and maybe have coverview as it's playing... Haven't been able to find much photos of the "dashboard" or now playing side of things. I use jriver from my home PC in the house,maybe I'm better off with a network drive and a mini PC in the mancave? I'm aware I could use Spotify etc from the tv but really want to play the flac. Cheers!
So I've decided to take a step and buy one of my favourite electronic albums (End of An Empire - Celldweller) on Bandcamp, and download it in FLAC format. I've never listened to lossless audio before, and I always thought I'm already hearing all the detail in my songs with regular compressed 320kbps audio through Spotify. Oh boy was I wrong. Straight off the bat, I don't have any pair of crazy good cans, just my HD4.20s, but they're good enough to hear the difference. It's seriously like hearing all the songs for the first time, I'm a bit shocked. Looks like I'm gonna have to start to actually pay for music now. Goddamit.
I have a lot of downloaded flac music albums and I want to embed synced lyrics in all of them without adding them one by one. I've found an app called otto music on android which allows you to automatically fetch lyrics and embed them to individual songs but it's very cumbersome since I have so many songs. Is there an android or windows app to the embed synced lyrics to multiple files at once? I found many apps to embed unsynced lyrics but that's not what I want. Thanks!
I've been subscribing to Tidal for around 2 years now. My reason for choosing Tidal over the likes of Amazon, Apple and Qobuz is MQA. If I wanted to listen to flac music above 16/44100 than I would have chosen one of the other music streamers as they are all less expensive than Tidal, but only Tidal use MQA in their top tier so that is why I pay the Extra for it.
