I would like to move away from using spotify for music. Are there any torrenting sites where I can torrent music with high quality audio (~320kbps) tagged properly?

I have never used soulseek. Isn’t this basically just Napster/kazaa/bearshare/limewire kind of deal? Wouldn’t it be loaded with garbage with bad tags?
Soulseek is popular with audiophiles, so there tends to be a lot of large, well-tagged FLAC collections
TIL. I’m picky but not that picky. I’ll have to give it another shot.
the tags are really decent, like the previous poster said it’s pretty much all audiophiles so everything is tagged, a lot of FLAC stuff but you can sort by MP3 (Nicotine+ makes it really easy in that regard)
The great thing about it and because the user base is mostly audiojunkies is that you can find some REALLY obscure stuff. Like things you’d never find on spotify or youtube music or any of that. I once found a set from a band I love from a show I was actually at.
That’s incredible. I used to have a hard drive I lost years ago with tons of obscure stuff and I was never able to find a lot of it again.
Edit:
Nobody is concerned about privacy? Seems to work a lot like bittorrent, exposing your IP
As a Canadian, I’ve never worried about privacy when torrenting or using Soulseek, but if you are worried, then yeah you’d want a VPN
Same boat but there’s some moves happening lately that aim to change those laws
