iOS and Winamp play FLAC files natively. On Mac OS, you will need VLC
Media Player.

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?
