>I can't tell the difference between FLAC and MP3!
You aren't supposed to tell a difference, that's how the compression algorithm works. Doesn't mean the uncompressed version is obsolete.

If you aren't listening to all your music in FLAC then you are a slave to lossy codecs.

flac on the puter
opus on the phone

Sounds the exact same. No I don't need to hear the extra breath or the pic hitting the string.

Cymbals and hi-hats literally resolve differently but ok

>>127119228 (OP)
I listen to FLACs because FLAC is FOSS and MP3 is proprietary. Free, lossy codecs like OGG have plenty of use cases

files in flac don't show the album cover on my Windows machine
i like seeing the album cover

I thought by 2025 people would understand that FLAC doesn't suffer degradation from rotational velocidensity like lossy does. A lot of my old 320kbps downloads from the mediafire sharethread days are noticeably distortes now, 15 years later.

That sounds like a simple config issue on your part

i can tell the difference between flac and mp3 if it's a song i'm familiar with that wasn't recorded in a moor of dogshit. i cant however differentiate flac from vorbis
