I use utorrent to find 320kbps and FLAC files. Straight to my phone, to micro sd, which I plug into a usb micro sd reader in my car. Only problem is that you have to know what you're looking for.

Most music in encoded in 16 bit. 320 is fine for tgat. If you find higher bitrate recording the flac IS better. Chances are you won't find much because idiots recording are to dumb to understand..

case in point DVD is mostly 24 bit audio encoding.

If you don't mind paying a little bit of money per month, Google Play Music lets you download for offline use, 320Kbps MP3 files (not sure of bit rating) which are very high quality. Also, there is Tidal, which gives 1411 Kbps (or 1.4Mbps) FLAC files for a couple bucks more, which also allows offline use. For car stereo, unless you have a mega high quality system, I'd probably stick to the Play Music. Of course you could always try em both and play the same song from each and see which sounds better to you. If you're not looking to pay, you're going to have a hard time finding good quality stuff on a regular basis.

I download flac whole discographies of every artists. However i'd recommend you get a VPN setup if you want to torrent. There's an obvious difference if your sound system is good enough. If you have just a mediocre system, you wont notice sh*t between 320kbps and Flac. On a good system whoa nelly, you thought you had good soundstage with 320kbps? The soundstage on flac is just that much better. Most car head units cant play flac though.

Well I just found out sportify premium has a family deal which is 15 bucks for 6 people, 5 "family members" and yourself. If you can find a few friends/family to split the bill, its VERY cheap for unlimited no hassle 320kbps downloads to your phone, laptop or tablet

U guys need to try tidal. The 20 a month subscription is better than anything I heard so far. If you go to school it's 50 % off
