Most of my library is still mp3 though I do tend to try and get the ogg vorbis format nowadays, if possible.

I’m surprised more folks on here don’t like FLAC… it fits better 😉

You 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

The gain of quality is debatable in even the best of circumstances.

Luckily you can easily run a blind test yourself.

Yall may hate on em, but Spotify has not only made my life easier in that I don’t have to first pirate then sort all my music, but has also got me through some difficult times by recommending music that I would have never found otherwise. I’ve found groups that I love that have maybe 2000 monthly listens. Went to concerts in places I’ve never been for bands I never would have found. It’s more than just listening to your own music. The Monday and Friday discover playlists have been more beneficial to me than most anything else on this planet.

2016 was a total gamechanger for me musicly. Spotify opend so many genres for me. I listen to so much music it would be an absolute pain in the ass to collect and manage all that music.
