Streaming flac would theoretically take too much bandwidth. It's quite rare that you see people able to ABX a 320 kps encoded file ( and I mean with good encoders like Lame) , from lossless .
Even 320 kps is an overkill most of the time. Similarly , for the digital television , data is compressed before you receive it , in order to save some bandwith. Never I've seen anyone complaining of the compression artifacts while looking at a digital TV. |

Oh, come on, not this again. Let's not assume OP is a complete idiot. If he has the resources and wants to do this, let him. Why do you care so much?
