FLAC is about future-proofing.
Opus and MP3 are lossy formats. You can’t transcode them to anything else without losing data.
With how cheap storage is these days there’s really no argument against FLAC because you can also transcode it to whatever. Players like Navidrome use ffmpeg to transcode on the fly.
If I put all this effort into ripping CDs and maintaining backups, it’s not going to be in a lossy format that I can’t convert to anything else.
Use ZFS to prevent bit rot.
