Just when you ripped all your music to FLAC...

[John Duncan]

...along comes a new format

That'll be useful, a music file (doesn't mention whether it's lossless or not I notice) bloated out to 32Gb with a load of extraneous, errr, rubbish.

And with developers called Bach and Brandenburg...

why would i want 32gb of rubbish attached to my file. the whole point is to play the msuic not interviews and "blog posts". seriously...

 

[John Duncan]

No I think you'll find that you have misjudged what it is that you want from your music...

No, he's been listening to his soft-and-velvety-like-a-mouse's-ear CD player again.

If it doesn't sound better and its not smaller what's the point. It sounds like you'll get bigger files instead. My advice, keep your FLAC Library.

And it will take years before it is universally accepted as THE lossy-lossless format.
