Conversely I've never had any trouble finding Flac-encoded torrents of any track I've wanted. There's just no way to pay the artist (usually) for them, because for some reason record companies think CD sales are worth protecting.

So buy the cd and encode that?

For back catalog that's often cheaper than buying the tracks online. Why pay $9.99 for an album I can get used for $6?
