I'm surprised more folks on here don't like FLAC.. it fits better ๐
You cant stream it on data connection without obliterating your data cap and battery.
You cant simply load FLACs onto your phone it kills the free storage in the blink of an eye. Try loading 1000 FLACs vs MP3s.
And moreover, there is a debatable gain or quality when you are on mobile with mobile gears/earphones.
MP3s fit in the middle of all restrictions.
I like FLACs, of course, but I can see why people just prefer MP3s
The gain of quality is debatable in even the best of circumstances.
Luckily you can easily run a blind test yourself.
If you stream from a personal server you can configure it in most cases to re-encode the music to a lossy format like opus or mp3!
