Maybe because you value audio quality on the go or use the thing as a portable hard drive for a car audio player or something? There would be many legitmate uses for lossless on the go, Eleo.
And FLAC is by far the superior format. Sure, it takes longer to encode than it does to decode, as mentioned above, but that's good because most of the time I'm only encoding something ONCE, and listening to it a lot. And encoding really doesn't take that long anyway in my experience. You're not really wasting much time with the medium settings. I wonder who voted for OFR? Jam it back in, in the dark.  |
