Except none of my portable devices or my home stereo can play flac files; only my computer can. Additionally, almost all my downloaded music and audiobooks were mp3 files to start with.

Since I retain any original CDs, re-ripping to flac seems pointless. I'd still also need mp3 files to play my music.

I guess I may be an anomaly since I don't stream music from the cloud.
