Wired is trash.

That's my opinion after seeing all of one post by you, obviously I could be wrong. But, I'd have thought that regardless of whether or not I came out and told you. Sometimes people will judge you as harshly as you would appear to judge others.

"Hey, 8-Bit, glad you could come!" she says.

"I'm not!"

"So this is [Interchangeable Sorority Name], [Interchangeable Sorority Name], and [Interchangeable Sorority Name]!"

"I have already forgotten who you are!"

"A bunch of wealthy white kids drinking crap-tons of alcohol. Sorority girls dropping the n-word in the most disingenuous way possible while singing to mediocre rap songs. Standing around, talking, but not really saying anything because they're wasted. "

"I'm not really judging the way they do things."

You sure about that last one? You seem like an asshole, to be honest. But I throw and go to lots of parties so I find you equally unrelatable. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Valid point. I suppose the real issue is I don't understand wanting to use FLAC outside of a few sets of circumstances (archival, etc). V0 or 320 seem like better options regarding the file size to sound quality compromise, will sound pretty much the same as FLAC on most people's headphones/stereos, and they work on basically everything.

FLAC is still a bitch on iOS, at least relative to what it should be. I'd personally go with a HiFiMan if I cared about a lossless portable player, but I really don't understand the appeal of listening to something in FLAC or w/e on the go.

Technically, but the devices they support are fairly limited and as far as I know Rockbox hasn't been updated for something new in years.

Just a stream rip from the NPR preview? If so w/e.

Not to be overly pedantic, but those are all considered pop right? That's what I've associated their music with at least.
