I'd say it's definitely worth it.

Our brains shouldn't have to work harder to listen to lossy music, which is what happens even if you can't reliably perceive it.

Listening to music on acid (a lot) has really shaped my views of it and how even the most minor things can have a major impact on the final experience.

I'm not an audiophile though and can enjoy music in a wide range of formats and quality; I just prefer FLAC almost anywhere.*

This is another step closer to requiring an ID to use the internet at all, which is exactly what the ruling class wants.

Fight back wherever you can.

Wow, $700m!? So this is why spotify is priced the way that it is!

You can download FLACs using Nicotine+.

I just use Pandora for radio and youtube for specific songs.

Use Nicotine+ to download music for free.

This age-verification bullshit is a fine example of how governments represent their rulers, not their citizens.
