When I've ripped CDs I've used WAV or now on my IPhone I use the Apple
Lausless thing. I don't use FLAC cause I don't have much tthat will play
FLAC. Well I guess VLC does. But I mean things. The only object I have
that will is the Victor Stratus. Ya know I'm not a big fan of the victor
sound.

Hi!
I’m curious to know if anyone else out there has stopped using MP3 or AAC and
is just now using FLAC or even Wave files or perhaps something similar.
I recently bought an 8TB hard drive for $300 so storage has never been cheaper
than it is now, no need to compress all those files to maximise the amount of
tracks for a certain hard drive size as used to be the case not all that long
ago.
Unlimited cloud storage has also been a factor in my case.
Sure! I have all those tracks I bought from iTunes and other services over the
years and they’re great for convenience sake but as more and more CD’S appear
on the second-hand market with replacements for those tracks I bought on iTunes
I’m ripping from those CD’S and replacing the iTunes versions with FLAC
versions.
More Music Streaming/Subscription services too are taking up the Lossless cause
so its obvious that people value there Hi-Fi setups or are discovering just how
good music can sound through a good audio setup that doesn’t cost all that much
these days.
I’ve spoken about my Yamaha Hard Drive Recorder but what I didn’t mention was
that they aren’t manufactured any longer and I do wonder why as they’re an
independent unit which allows you to store or record Lossless audio, perhaps
manufacturing costs were too high at the time?

Those of a positive and enquiring frame of mind will leave the rest of the
halfwits in this world behind.
