Thread: Do you download FLAC or MP3 ?

If I find the release in flac that is no. 1 prio. MP3 untill I have the flac release. If its music I "just want to have" but not listens so much to MP3 is OK. The main reason for flac is quality.

I download MP3 files. Only because my MP3 player doesn't support FLAC. I have one of those old school ones ><

I'll download FLAC for the things I'm really after.

Good quality mp3s will do for the rest!

I prefer FLAC for new downloads, just for archiving reasons.
(to have the ability to convert to any other format i like - even in a couple of years)

For listening purposes i don't think that FLAC will make any difference than a good MP3 file.

I only download FLAC, and convert to mp3 when necessary (i.e. ipod listening)

Depends on the music. Would prefer to download flac every time, but will dowload mp3's as long as the bitrate isn't too low (256 or above).

my taste is so-so unique that i HAVE to download mp3´. if there were FLAC quality ones available, i´d be hitting that, but sadly there´s not.

though i tried FLAC out with lil´wayne. big a** difference, if you know what i mean. xD

i can´t even use torrenting to search my kind of music `(
only fan forum. the best of the best of da best, and fast

I download mp3 because it's smaller and because I'm not an audiophile.

Unfortunately, my Zune doesn't support FLAC, so I usually download VBR -0 MP3's most of the time. Then I will download the FLAC for archival and library purposes.
