minus-squarerengoku2@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up27·edit-21 year agoYou cant stream it on data connection without obliterating your data cap and battery. You cant simply load FLACs onto your phone it kills the free storage in the blink of an eye. Try loading 1000 FLACs vs MP3s. And moreover, there is a debatable gain or quality when you are on mobile with mobile gears/earphones. MP3s fit in the middle of all restrictions. I like FLACs, of course, but I can see why people just prefer MP3s

minus-squareTau@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoIf 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!
minus-squareAzzu@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up18·1 year agoI 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.
minus-squarejelloeater - Ops Mgr@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoYeah, i do 320 mp3s sometimes. Man are FLAC files big sometimes. Maybe get a NAS and some cheap disks?
minus-squaremattreb@feddit.itlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoI did a test some time ago of the diff track against flac, it was just noise at 192k, its awesome
