well i know allofmp3 lets you choose whatever format and bitrate you want, but i have my doubts on if it actually does much. i rip all my cd's in OGG format 256bit, and anytime i've tried downloading music from there in that format it is never the same quality as my rips. so lately i've been downloading in 192bit OGG and they sound the exact same as the 256bit files i've gotten from there. and who knows, with that kind of site with no one regulating how they do business, all the different formats and bitrates may come from the same source and are just marked up to try and get more money from people
and on the one big private music torrent site i visited, virtually every release was in both a FLAC format and a regular 256 bit mp3 format. those sites tend to cater to the hardcore music geeks so it's always the place to go to get the best
