Maybe enjoy crispy 128 .opus? Yeah flacs are on another level... But 100MB/file just doesn't justify the negligeable quality increase you won't even notice anymore in your late 40s !

However, saving TB of disk space does !

What are you downloading that's 100MB?
Maybe a WAV.

Naah ! Most flac I have are in the 50/80 range but when you have a huge library it doesn't make sense to archive in flac IMO.

It makes sense if you are music producer, but my whole library would need a huge SSD cluster :/

There is a solution to this, get a real flac and convert it to opus 🙂

Yeaaah ! That's even better ! However, I'm listening to some obscure Electronic music which often doesn't come in flac format :(
