I'm surprised more folks on here don't like FLAC.. it fits better ๐
The gain of quality is debatable in even the best of circumstances.
Luckily you can easily run a blind test yourself.
If you stream from a personal server you can configure it in most cases to re-encode the music to a lossy format like opus or mp3!
I just don't hear any difference between ~200kbps VBR mp3 and flac. If you manage a large library, 10x smaller matters a lot, it's faster to transfer, easier to share on the web, space still costs money.
not on my drives!
Yeah, i do 320 mp3s sometimes. Man are FLAC files big sometimes. Maybe get a NAS and some cheap disks?
I like my .opus files.
I did a test some time ago of the diff track against flac, it was just noise at 192k, its awesome
