   I still buy CDs because it’s still hard to find FLAC from older artists. #music

   It’s not that I can necessarily hear the difference with lossless audio, but:

   1. I’d like the ability to transcode to any format I want without multiple generations of lossy transcoding along the way. I can do FLAC→Vorbis, FLAC→MP3, FLAC→AAC, FLAC→Opus, but I’d rather avoid MP3→Opus or MP3→Vorbis, for example. This is a point that a lot of the lossless audio proponents fail to realize.
   2. ID3 implementations are shit when it comes to Unicode, which is very important since a large chunk of my collection is Japanese.

     @tk FLAC for archival, Opus w/ r128gain tags for respectable computers, AAC w/ loudness normalization baked in for the crippled sandisk player.

     @tk i don't have headphones expensive enough to tell these things apart but transcoding is why i try to keep flac archives yes.

     Reminds me that I have a ton of stuff in SHI(F)T-JIS and Latin-1 and some software choke on that, it's part of the things that I should fix in my collections…
