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:

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.ID3 implementations are shit when it comes to Unicode, which is very important since a large chunk of my collection is Japanese.
