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.

    Just want to point out that you can download audio from a Youtube video using yt-dlp and the following options:

    -x, --extract-audio                               Convert video files to audio-only files (requires ffmpeg and
                                                  ffprobe)
--audio-format FORMAT                             Format to convert the audio to when -x is used. (currently
                                                  supported: best (default), aac, alac, flac, m4a, mp3, opus,
                                                  vorbis, wav). You can specify multiple rules using similar syntax
                                                  as --remux-video
--audio-quality QUALITY                           Specify ffmpeg audio quality to use when converting the audio with
                                                  -x. Insert a value between 0 (best) and 10 (worst) for VBR or a
                                                  specific bitrate like 128K (default 5)

    You might have to use a tool to re-do the tags, but that’s pretty easy to do. Edit: also want to point out that yt-dlp also works with a number of other sites besides Youtube.
