So you manage a lossless and a lossy library? That sounds like a lot of work.
My collection is lossless and nearing 2 TB in size. Too large for mobile usage on iOS, where I don't really need that kind of fidelity anyway. However I still don't want to manage a second lossy library and keep them both in sync. Luckily Apple's Music app can be configured to transcode your lossless audio to a lossy format on the fly whenever you sync your collection to your iPhone. That way I can have my whole collection in my pocket without having to manage it.
