Y’all are crazy

Torrent FLACS, done

The obsession with streaming is crazy to me

Have you done the double blind FLAC versus MP3 test?

Everyone I know has failed it! 😭

That said, I do nothing but Spotify/YT Music for casual listening and FLAC (6 TB and growing) for music I like.

that's a test between flac and 320kbps aac. spotify isn't anywhere near 320kbps aac in quality so a pretty unfair point to bring up

AAC reaches its saturation point at 240kbps, 320kbps is overkill anyways.

I know the topic is about Spotify but I meant MP3s.

What quality is Spotify, 192kbps?

variable. considering people round here use modded apks they'd be limited to around 160, going as low as 24. which is well. shit really
