I don't. Those were some rough times, when you didn't know whether or not you'd get the actual MP3, or a recording of a Bill Clinton impersonator selling something. These days it's a lot easier to find direct downloads to the exact track you want, in a guaranteed 320Kbps MP3 or even a lossless format like FLAC.

    Does that mean FLAC is the best file format for archiving?

    It's what I archive all my music in, so I'd say so. You get WAV quality without WAV file sizes.

    When a FLAC (or any lossless) file is not available, I settle for 320Kbps MP3 (and not a single bit less). The quality is decent enough to be used in a live setting (I'm a DJ). Anything less than 320kbps, and you're hurting treble output, which will be noticeable on high-end speakers to anyone under the age of 30.
