> actually, which makes me wonder why I'm keeping all these FLACs around
Sometime last year, I actually redownloaded all my BC files, and reripped all my CDs (had to re-do genres, but that was fine, I wanted cleaner genres anyway). It’s simply archival. Lossless means you can convert it to whatever file you might want in the future without loss of quality.
This made extra sense for my CD rips, because many of those were from the early 2000s and I made questionable quality descisions ;)
