minus-squareWolfLink@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 hours agoYes they are no longer scared of the licensing enough most modern Apple devices do have at least some FLAC support.

And with a tool like FFMPEG you can easily convert between the two and they are both lossless so there is no data lost in the conversion. So really just use whichever you like it really doesn’t matter.
