I may have downloaded music from 1337xx.to . is there anything to worry about?

1337xx.to, not the real site. I only downloaded .flacs

If you’re paranoid, you can convert the FLACs to WAV on an isolated computer (or VM), copy them and recompress them to FLAC or other formats. If there is a vulnerability in FLAC, it won’t persist through transcoding.
Should be ok if there is no bad vulnerability in the player you are using.

If you are paranoid, plug the files into virustotal.
- thanks
Just use spotdl https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader
- I dont wanna listen to music that sounds like shit. I love uncompressed music
  
  Preach! Give me FLAC or give me death.
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.
- I normally get everything from soulseek. got some music I couldnt find on there
No.
For the next time, if you want .flacs, just use Soulseek.
