: Offers one of the largest catalogs of Hi-Res Audio (24-bit). You don't need a subscription to buy individual albums or tracks.
: Streaming services can remove albums at any time. When you buy a lossless file, you own it forever and can back it up to a NAS or external drive.
: You can always convert a FLAC file down to a smaller MP3 if you need to save space, but you can never "upscale" an MP3 back to lossless.
: The best for supporting independent artists. When you buy an album, you can download it in FLAC , ALAC , WAV , or AIFF .
