No, you're going to grab the diamond, because hey - you're not paying for it!

If you're going to steal something, you might as well steal the best that is available.

As such, I download and rip in FLAC. No, it doesn't sound any better than V0 VBR or 320 CBR, but if I can get an exact, bitperfect, 1:1 copy of the original CD, I figure I might as well...

The OP has a monthly bandwidth download limit that's why it matters to not go with the higher quality.

I can agree with this, but if a rip with a lower bitrate is the only thing that I can find of a certain album, then I would either take it or buy a physical copy if I wanted higher-quality sound.

And not everybody has 1TB hard drives. I don't, so I don't download in FLAC.

you won't really notice much difference unless you're using really quality speakers
