Buy FLAC's at prices costing up to €1,50 or so a piece, which are ripped with who knows which codec and from which CD-edition, and that probably have all the metadata wrong?
No, thank you very much.
I'll just get myself a €15 CD/DVD burner, and go to Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.de MarketPlace to buy a second-hand CD for €0.01 to €1 and €2.50 shipping. With a bit of luck, I can actually choose the edition. If it's older music, I'll always choose the oldest edition I can find (look them up at Discogs), to avoid the
loudness war.

Oh, and on the latest Windows 10 update: I hate it. More different font sizes. More tiny fonts despite me setting the font size at 11, more black stuff, and more sub-menu's... and all of that, combined in the right-click menu of the start-menu icons.
Black means no dropshadows. It makes windows and menu's blend into one another, and that's not good. (At work, I detest Windows 8.1 for that; everything is flat and white.)
See that attachment. That's three (!!) different font-sizes in about 1/8th part of my screen; compare the left menu, the start menu icons, and the taskbar menu...
And what's with the grey Firefox (and, beneath the menu, Thunderbird) icons? Since this update, their background is suddenly grey.
Windows is becoming more and more unusable, and I'm running out of ways to fix this crap.
