      That’s great for you but I fucked up my hearing by listening to Linking Park on maximum volume in the cheapest Chinese earbuds a third world teenager’s allowance could buy circa 2006.

      … And getting stuff from YouTube takes 3% less effort.

      Maybe enjoy crispy 128 .opus? Yeah flacs are on another level… But 100MB/file just doesn’t justify the negligeable quality increase you won’t even notice anymore in your late 40s !

      However, saving TB of disk space does !

          Naah ! Most flac I have are in the 50/80 range but when you have a huge library it doesn’t make sense to archive in flac IMO.

          It makes sense if you are music producer, but my whole library would need a huge SSD cluster :/

            I have a massive music library and it doesn’t even make a dent. Literally any modern video game will take up more space than HUNDREDS of lossless records.

          Yeaaah ! That’s even better ! However, I’m listening to some obscure Electronic music which often doesn’t come in flac format :(

      Well technically from youtube at least they’re either oggs or m4as. However, yeah, flacs are better if you can get real ones.

      show me anywhere other than youtube that has the demon cleaner cover by tool

      point is that it is good for the random one-offs but agreed on how much easier it is to get flac over mp3, seems like most stuff i cant even find mp3
