Lossless / Other Codecs / Lossless music stores (files!) not offering FLAC, but other lossless compressed?
Last post by Porcus -IOW, is FLAC closing so much in on total dominance that if it is offered lossless, then FLAC is an option unless the only option is uncompressed (like Beatport)?
Even in just a resolution where you have to choose another (compressed) format?
(An example the other way around, is Qobuz which cap their WMAL support at CDDA, but apparently supply FLAC and ALAC at all resolutions they offer.)
I'd be surprised if there isn't a single store around offering DTS-compressed DSD-file for sale, that is losslessly compressed and obviously not available as FLAC. But others?
It makes for a facepalm when >8 channel files are delivered as WAVE only, sometimes even one file per channel ; after all there are compressed format that handle a higher channel count, WavPack has done so since ages, and then there are containers.
(But no "corporate codecs", right? Both Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD-MA are capped at eight channels, like FLAC?)
