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 soulseek/nicotine+ on my private server and I just use that. It’s really easy. If you ever used Napster or limewire or Kazaa or whatever it’s exactly like that.
slsk-batchdl is pretty powerful too, if you’re not afraid of a little command line
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
Eh. There’s also a bunch of bozos there that’ll literally rip 128 kbps mp3s from youtube and store them as FLACs. I saw it with my own 2 beady eyes right after the release of “The end of you” by Poppy, Amy Lee and Courtney LaPlante. So there’s no way of knowing what source they’ve used.
EDIT: I do like Soulseek a lot tho!
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
