FLAC's nice because it's future-proof, you can encode it into whatever you need with no loss. 350-400MB for an album hardly seems worth worrying about in a world where if you want a top-quality film rip you're looking at 40-80GB—and you can fit hundreds of such albums on a chip the size of a 1-year-old's pinkie nail that cost tens of dollars, let alone an actual spinning rust hard drive.

I was all about high-quality MP3 in like the early '00s, but now? FLAC's fine, music's not going to be the reason I run out of disk space.
