Noob question: where can I download FLACs/music? (kbin.earth)

I've been building up my digital music library again after giving music streaming the boot. I was going to attempt to digitize my CD and vinyl collection, but I frankly don't have the time for all that. So I thought I might turn to file-sharing and download digital versions of my physical collection. I prefer FLAC or WAV if the former isn't available. Can you recommend good places to get started?

I work part time as an audio producer. Converting MP3 to FLAC is like trying to upscale an image: you can use all the fancy algos to repair loss, but it's still lossy.

yes, you can't add to the sound something that's no longer there by just reformatting the mp3 to flac
