I search from time to time for music download sites that offer flac as an option.

I have yet to find any.

I`m talking with the range of Amazon etc

I do not want, nor could I if I did, Apple lossless.

Anyone?

Anyone?I think that some artists have flac as an option for some of their music. Last year (or was it 2 years ago), Trent offered flac as an option for much of the NIN collection.

Thanks, yeah, I know.

I don`t mind going out and cds, but I would use an online store that had a vast variety of music $(latest releases, back catalogues, varied genres -- jazz/classical/world/ska-core ;))

IN FLAC!!!!!!!

rather than mp3

:D

I haven't seen any flac downloads at all recently, damn internets forcing me to buy CDs to get amazing audio quality. :P I would appreciate it too if anyone knows some good sites.

Busybox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busybox) utils, but he's not really telling the truth since he uses the GNU desktop and some kind of c library.

I don't think it's possible to run any form of Linux without this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uclibc) or this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_C_Library).

Sweetness... new sites have been added to my bookmarks. Decent price range to boot for lossless non-apple format.

Archive.org (http://www.archive.org/details/etree) has a lot of music encoded in .flac

Yes, and luckily I got my vast collection of Grateful Dead sbds before they pulled them.
