Comment on Spotifies come and Spotifies go, but that folder of badly-sorted MP3s will still be there in the 2050s.

File format has nothing to do with proper sorting.

Correct, it doesn’t.

Main difference to mp3 is that flac is “lossless” so the audio quality is a bit better, but it requires considerably more space (though still a pretty insignificant compared to video).

I know the difference, but it’s irrelevant to organization.

  Right, I never said that it was?
  
  I just found it much easier to just download and replace my library with files that are already sorted instead of sorting it myself. And when you’re already replacing them might as well upgrade the quality.

    Nah, it has very much been replaced with properly sorted .flac files. What ever is left is stuff I don’t listen to anymore.
    
    Bold portion above insinuates they have to be flac format. But same is true for mp3, ogg, wav, etc.

    I don’t think it insinuates that. I’m just describing what I did to my library.
    
    When I say that I replaced bag full of apples with a neatly stacked box of pears that doesn’t insinuate that only pears can be stacked.

  There is a connection between flac and organization since flacs are a thing for audio nerds and they tend to be tidy :)
