Wow is it still a thing? I had no idea. It always seemed to sit in this weird limbo between Spotify and YouTube Music (for people who just want to listen to music) and Qobuz and HD Tracks (for people who just want to listen to their new £250 power leads). Never sure what it was actually for.
Flac Audiophile types with equipment and no desire to pirate?
HDtracks.
That being said if you're buying FLACs from major labels for $40 while indie bands release albums in FLAC via band camp for $3, you're a chump.
The members of Led Zeppelin that are still alive don't need the money nearly as much, and even if they did most of it isn't going to them anyways.
Hey some of us also use 7digital and Qobuz store. ;)
