FLAC didn't fail. Most websites that aren't iTunes or Google Play sell their music in FLAC if you want it. Paying money for music in a lossy format for the same price as a CD is pretty stupid.

Lossless audio storage is autism except for music studios.

Most people aren't scientists or music producers. And even then you would use uncompressed WAV not FLAC. Fuck FLAC.

The only other option for those use cases are using WAV which usually comes out as like twice as big as a FLAC with no tagging or other features.
>>51901358
Not him but flac takes longer to load than wav.
>>51901366
WAV is 1.4 Mbps you piece of shit. FLAC only reduces the bitrate to 1-1.2 Mbps which is fucking nothing.

* Pre-load the track a second before previous one ends. (sequential playback)
* Save first two seconds raw, then load while playing those. (previews)
* Save every x seconds, and limit your skipping to those times. (fast seeking)
* Cache only the most-accessed tracks. (if all else fails)
Depending on your use case, there are plenty of options.

Oh so you don't know anything. Got it
>>51901412
He's unfortunately right. Not all music can be compressed to under 1mbps with flac.
>>51901457
It's actually very noticeable when you need to load multiple tracks. It's even more of a pain in the ass because in the end you have to encode the piece of shit to a new 6-10 track FLAC for music production.
Either stick to wav or opus.

Betamax.

He's still saving 4x the space compared to autismflac

.js isn't a format, it's just an extension put on plaintext files with js code.
>>51901543
You could say the same for XML.
>>51901069
Let's be honest here, flac was always a meme. I used it for like a month and then switched to opus for good.
>>51901069
this, keep it on .wave and go aways, you will not save a lot of space
