<p>Tidal has updated me to its "FLAC" quality level without charging me any additional money.</p><p>This makes me happy because (1) it is very good quality and (2) it's cool they're giving it at the low pay tier.</p><p>I am also angry, because it is not FLAC. It is something called MQA and it is extremely extremely good lossy compression, maybe as good as lossy compression can possibly get, maybe so good FLAC would be a waste, but it is not FLAC. It is literally a different thing.</p><p>EDIT: See below.</p>
