    Same since 2010, but most of it was ogg files, so I’m currently downloading everything as FLAC for proper archival.

      I loved Bancamp because you could download CD-quality FLAC. Yeah, I can stream my music there but I want to load it up to my personal media server and just have it in the best reasonable quality possible (I know there’s better than CD quality).

          It’s hard to justify as it’s mostly subjective but objectively I think having music archived in a lossless format allows me to transcode to more practical lossy codecs as things evolve.

          It’s kind of like in the olden times owning the CD and you could re-rip anytime and whatever format you needed/wanted.
