    You’ll also get higher quality files. Spotify can’t play CD quality music. Apple and Tidal make a massive deal about being able to play “high quality audio”, but it’s a lot less impressive when you find out they really just meant CD quality, which had been around for almost 30 years. A real 24 bit flac takes longer to download than to play. Real high quality audio will never be streamed.

      “A real 24bit flac takes longer to download than play” if you have dialup maybe. I don’t think you can even legally call it “broadband” if your internet is slower than a flac bitrate

        Downloads depend on the server as well as the client. I can say for certain that I’ve never been able to download a 24 bit flac album in less than 30 minutes, usually over an hour.
