Mostly for me, Qobuz rips (through SlavArt) are the best. But if for some reason you can't get what you want on Qobuz, I typically look it up on Soulseek and 99% of the time I found what I'm looking for

No, that's a "prank".

A manc is where the fishes live in your house.

Damn, didn't think this would gain this much traction. Thanks for the suggestions and help everyone.

Judging from the fact that I'm going with a Student Visa, I guess my best course of action is just uploading it to a cloud service. Might not be the most bandwidth efficient, yes, but sure as hell has the best chance of succeeding.

Again, many thanks for the suggestions, seafarers! May your ship sail smooth, mateys.

No idea about the site, never heard of it. Pretty sure FLACs couldn't harm your PC (correct me if I'm wrong).

Buuuuuut if you're gonna download another FLAC from the internet I think it would be safer to get it from either doubledouble.top, the Slav Art Divolt channel, or just Soulseek like the other dude mentioned.

Okay, first things first, I'm sorry for being very very ignorant.

But wouldn't a 200-300$ Android phone also support foobar2000 and playing FLACs?

Honestly, hearing back from a fellow SE Asian took a lot off my chest. Let's just hope I don't get "randomly checked" for my devices I guess.

Funnily enough, I have relations in the Indonesian Government and they use pirated software on a day to day basis lol. So nah, definitely not a first world problem, just me being paranoid.

As said, I'm very paranoid because this might be the only chance I get to move somewhere decent (minus all the, well, problems).

Judging from your statement, does it mean that

1. I can bring an external hard drive (like 1 or 2 because I have terabytes of data from my old drives)? and 2. Gigabit connections are essentially available in every single household in Aussie?

Try the Slav Art *Divolt (they moved to Discord), I think they recently implemented an Amazon Music downloader there.
