#1 would be Willie Nelson. Ya, I know, lately quality is an issue. I fell in
love with Red Headed Stranger and I was hooked.
I have an extensive Ray Charles collection. Fine performer.
Flac is Flac, you almost always get the quality you expect, and it is
generally darn near CD AIFF quality. MP3’s are a crap shoot. Originally 128
was all the rage, then everyone “agreed” that 192 was the standard. When
I rip something to MP3 to put on the player in the car, I use 256. When I
download MP3 I prefer to get 320.
