For Flac you have digital market places and CDs you can obtain from store fronts and private sellers like flea markets or shops like ebay or discogs.
Or torrents and DDL.
I actually used discogs a lot in the past. They can be quite expensive at times. Though this will be a mix of everything since not everything can be obtainable legally, at least for my archive.
If I juat want one song and flac isnt expensive to buy digitally I'll buy it.
But if they want somethibg like 3€ per song I'd bail and pirate it.
Discogs is only if I really want it the CD and it's out of sale. Else it's usually less expensive to buy it from the official store.
But if I had to choose between discogs and ebay, I'd prefer discogs due to more information about the release and condition.
