Honestly, these days drives are so large compared to even FLAC that it's not worth worrying about if an MP3 would be just as good, IMHO.

- teknopaul 5y agomp3 is often better, it removes close frequencies that your ears can't hear baring tricks like very slow phase shifts. Speakers and amps are asked to do less work, so they often sound better, particularly at high volume. The same applies to the air the sound travels through and your ear drum and bio-pickups. You can often tell the difference, but its arguable if before or after mp3 processing is and improvement or destructive in terms of psychoacoustics. I often see djs who swear by wavs without knowing how the pitch and tempo adjust algo work in the equipment they are using. I.e. Top of the range pioneer Cdj decks run Busybox Linux and ffmpeg
- leetcrew 5y agoI'm quite certain I can't tell the difference between flac and mp3 v0, but I keep all the music I care about in flac. I don't know what lossy formats will have mainstream support in 10-20 years, but I know I will be able to transcode flac to them.
