MP3's are exactly like porn, and you can also have way more of them that way, too, since you don't need to have a problem with that in music.
FLAC still sounds noisier from being decompressed first. Only WAV files from solid state can make you the slacker you're supposed to be being while you listen, suckers.
How can any of you have space issues anymore, anyways? On a phone, the biggest memory card is cheap, on a pc, a bigger usb ssd is cheaper. Even on a phone, you still have streaming services, unless you're subway isn't hooked up with your data provider yet. On unsupported subway systems is the only time space can be an issue, even though your space could still hold over a 24 hrs worth of 96kbps, and you would just need to copy/replace from main pc before your next trip, when you need new. Or roaming outside of your data provider's coverage, ok then.
Only WAV files could possibly be exact playback of the original copy. But don't forget, although digital skips the recording medium, it records only timeless samples to be played back over time. Garbage, nobody will care about people anymore with digital. Criminal rap fans have it easy, trying not to have to. The other way around, like me, are the ones who have it sad. The good people are all keeping what it actually is a secret, anyways.
Lucky for this audience that you're audiophiles, and that means developing a preference for only having to care about which sub actually sounds best will keep you from truly thinking it is the criminal aspect of rappers, anyhow. You'll need the professor's roles to matter for that. Thank you for that!
