      Honestly, that’s some great reasoning — Spotify won’t last forever, while the CDs and digital files we own will remain with us

        That’s how I feel about a lot of stuff now, the first time it happened was when they took the office off of Netflix. For things I really care about like Taylor I want to make sure I have physical copies of, so they can never be taken down. (I then can stream them from my own services so they’re just as convenient)

        Depends, I hate that her store only has mp3. If I buy digital, and for Taylor I usually just buy the CD, but for other artists I’ll be a flac nerd

          You can get flac from a CD? (My primitive understanding is that’s the highest quality possible?)

            You can get 16 bit flac ripped from a CD. 24 is the highest and can only purchased online because it doesn’t fit on a CD, but you can use something like fairstars on windows or abcde on Linux to rip 16 bit. For me, the difference is pretty dang negligible then
