I download from Bandcamp and Qobuz. I rip CDs I buy and borrow from the library. They take up 5 times the storage space of mp3s.

What do you mean price point? Price of the FLACs or hard drives or the speakers?

This was a much bigger pain point 15 years ago, but at a time when I can buy a 16TB hard drive for like $200 that I probably won't come close to filling with lossless music within my lifetime, I kinda feel like there's little reason to leave any quality on the table.

For me, upgrading to FLACs cost me a fortune in speakers and headphones since quality suddenly mattered.
