<p>Okay so it appears very likely that in the *current* Tidal interface, "FLAC" means literal FLAC and not something else. Unfortunately the clearest evidence of this anyone's yet shown me is… a statement in person by Tidal executives at a trade show. <a href="https://mast.hpc.social/@fclc/112355440678482810" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mast.hpc.social/@fclc/11235544</span><span class="invisible">0678482810</span></a> I remain frustrated with the poor transparency.</p><p>(It also appears from the links in that thread that the future of MQA's parent company is in doubt, so Tidal probably has non-technical reasons to transition away from it now?)</p>
