re: Crappy YT Music continues to be crappy

Because it requires critical listening to hear a perceivable difference and 99.9999999% can’t tell in the car or on mobile devices.

Requiring flac in a car is pretentious.

i think i didn't explain this very well. all of my *LOCAL* music is FLAC if possible. Just like I prefer native 4K HDR REMUX movies.

I like having uncompressed music to source any transcodes from.

once it goes up into google's cloud or wherever it turns it into whatever-the-hell google wants it to be. I believe I was able to specify 320 when I set this up originally with the music download manager app.

as to tigerwise's snarky comment; what's wrong with playing local files on my SONOS that are FLAC? sonos supports FLAC. does the fact its going through WiFi make it any less FLAC-y? i can stream 4K movies through my WiFi network as well so I don't think a 100MB FLAC audio file is too much to handle.

sure i could be a snob and buy $5,000 speakers and retarded everest wiring but sonos handles FLAC files just fine.

Plex and Sonos FLAC Streaming
If you use a Plex server on your network, the minimum upload speed required to stream FLAC music files is 1.5Mbps or higher. Sonos supports FLAC up to 1536kbps. FLAC files must be encoded at 16-bit depth (24bit, 48kHz-Sonos S2 system only). To play hi-res FLAC files like 24-bit FLAC, Plex can transcode audio tracks into a type Sonos can play, enlarging your music library without format limits.
