I always get the CD! Call me paranoid but if Spotify ever shut down I always want to have my copies of Taylor

I do that but with digital albums

Depends, I hate that her store only has mp3. If I buy digital, and for Taylor I usually just buy the CD, but for other artists I'll be a flac nerd

You can get flac from a CD? (My primitive understanding is that’s the highest quality possible?)

You can get 16 bit flac ripped from a CD. 24 is the highest and can only purchased online because it doesn't fit on a CD, but you can use something like fairstars on windows or abcde on Linux to rip 16 bit. For me, the difference is pretty dang negligible then

Honestly, that’s some great reasoning — Spotify won’t last forever, while the CDs and digital files we own will remain with us

That's how I feel about a lot of stuff now, the first time it happened was when they took the office off of Netflix. For things I really care about like Taylor I want to make sure I have physical copies of, so they can never be taken down. (I then can stream them from my own services so they're just as convenient)
