I don't get why it's a big deal for THIS recording. It's sourced off a scratchy, hiss-filled cassette.

For the live bootlegs that are done with high quality recording gear, I understand it, but for something where the quality is definitely not crystal-clear, I fail to see the major advantage to FLAC.

All the more reason to keep the quality as rich as possible, instead of making the files sound even worse by converting to MP3.

F**k iPods.
