nobody pirates FLACs these days

There's two private trackers for music full of FLACs: RED and OPS

i use soulseek all the time and i see tons of flacs to the point of it being annoying because i put mp3s on my phone still and they take up too much space, i stick with 320kbps mp3

Soulseek is great and I'll one day regret not using it more instead of Spotify.
