Can you really tell the difference? Like even compared to lossless streaming, I know there are some songs where it seems to be better detailed but that also could be my own bias, on top of that, I know some songs don't even have lossless versions released so if you buy the flac you're literally just getting the CD quality version anyway.

    I usually find that I can only tell the difference between high quality compressed music (v0 or better) and flacs with specific tracks that I know extremely well and only when using really good speakers or headphones. Some of the streaming services have noticeable lower quality, but it is usually good enough. The main reason I keep flacs around is for being able to burn a cd to transcode to other formats.
