I'm curious - if you're not an audiophile, why do you keep all of your music in FLAC rather than using a smaller compressed format?
Because disk space is cheap. If I could have ripped all my CD collection to FLAC when I started ripping my CD collection I would have done.
Since then I've owned a few devices that have used different formats and converting something lossy to something else lossy really does sound crap, and I have had to rip some things more than once which is a real pain, at least if I had FLAC masters for everything I could then re-encode them.
And, at least FLAC is compressed (non-lossy), so it shouldn't take really extortionate amounts of diskspace... (I must remember to re-rip all of my cds one day)
