Probably the wrong forum.

Does anyone have any opinions on the relative merits of vorbis at max quality (-q 10) and FLAC? I've been using vorbis -q 10 up to now but since disk space is so cheap I decided to switch to FLAC for new content. File sizes / compression ratios seem roughly the same (but I haven't done the obvious like-for-like comparisons). However, FLAC breaks my setup because libshout doesn't support it. so it's back to using vorbis for the time being. I don't think I can hear the difference, but that's probably because my stereo isn't good enough and my ears are definitely f*kd, but I guess someone younger probably could.

any views?
