If you’re paranoid, you can convert the FLACs to WAV on an isolated computer (or VM), copy them and recompress them to FLAC or other formats. If there is a vulnerability in FLAC, it won’t persist through transcoding.

Should be ok if there is no bad vulnerability in the player you are using.

If you are paranoid, plug the files into virustotal.

Tidal DL is an awesome tool. I signed up for the trial and then ripped about 120 GB to host myself.

This is the way.

I would tell you what I use, but the name’s been REDACTED.

It’s an older code, sir, but it checks out.

No idea about the site, never heard of it. Pretty sure FLACs couldn't harm your PC (correct me if I'm wrong).

Buuuuuut if you're gonna download another FLAC from the internet I think it would be safer to get it from either doubledouble.top, the Slav Art Divolt channel, or just Soulseek like the other dude mentioned.

I normally get everything from soulseek. got some music I couldnt find on there

For the next time, if you want .flacs, just use Soulseek.
