and I think that it's absurd. I'd rather have professionally pressed hardcopy with the original booklet than just a digital version. It just doesn't make sense to buy FLAC downloads for a higher price, unless you must have 24-bit recordings.

I agree.
 
Unless they've been remastered, to a higher sound quality (not always the case, but sometimes is), in which case I will sometimes choose to pay a little more for a download.
 
Even then, though, I don't like paying more for a download than a CD.
 
 
Music companies whinge and moan about falling sales, but they keep price-gouging, even though the costs for them of publishing via digital downloads are lower than pressing thousands of CDs. They drive themselves out of business with their decades-old incessant greed.
