Most of the discussion and sources of content talk about movies and series.

I've been recently looking for psy and techno music, finding FLAC or WAV with active seeders feels like striking gold. It's definitely been a while since I've looked for active torrent sites and it feels more barren than ever.

Edit: Thank you all for all that valuable information. The reddit group really wasn't this helpful and valued making fun over adding real use able knowledge.

Some stuff is too obscure to be on Youtube, and IIRC the bitrate there is only 192kbps. It's acceptable as far as I care, but I would still look for better rips if available.

YT has opus files that are pretty good. Definitely enough for most

iirc for music opus starts being transparent (i.e where you or most people can't tell quality loss) at 160kbps

Makes it insane to store flac for anything else than archival purposes

That makes sense.
