Reply to comment by hextanerf in I do use Spotify more nowadays by UnnecessaryMovements

I unironically started with lossless that way. You used to have devices only support some formats so you had to convert and having lossless to start from meant you had the best conversion. After a while, having a ton on FLAC meant I didn't want anything new to not be FLAC, it wouldn't match the rest!

Like how years ago I ripped and converted my DVDs and now I want to rip them all again and keep them in their bit-exact MPEG-2 format for archival reasons

Pretty close!! The only difference is flac is an audio format and I don't know if you're aware but mpeg-2 is a video format, so it's slightly different. Try not to downvote!

Sorry 'try not downvote' is a game I like to play sometime, kinda like those try not to sing along playlists. Everyone thinks they can just not but then when the moment comes it just takes one little click to show me how much I'm getting on your nerves and should just shut up.

Edit: haha I'm winning so much
