Eh, you can stream Flac from Tidal and their catalog is basically as big as Spotify.

Like Spotify, is their catalog often arbitrarily populated with whatever the most recent remaster is, or some other random release? There is value to having a lossless rip of a specific pressing of a given album. Especially with the case of albums that were mangled with limiters etc during their "remasters."

The number of albums I cannot find un-remastered is infuriating. I want the version I remember, not this years overcompressed mixing style squashing the dynamics while the singer autotunes out those 'bad notes'.

Spotify’s collection is nowhere close to what what.cd used to have before it got shutdown.

Sometimes these streams aren't available due to contract changes
