[ newsletter ] Would you prefer it if I offered .flac audio instead of .mp3? Poll results (Patreon)

Hello! It’s Memoria. Thank you for your support for your Mommy Maid <3!

I was asked about offering FLAC downloads before (I hope you’re still here!!)

Here are the combined results from 15 votes!

20% "Yes, I want FLAC download”

20% "No, I prefer MP3 download”

20% "N/A... I listen on the website only

“ 80% "Anything works for me.”

Very interesting spread of results!

There’s an equal spread between FLAC, MP3 offline listening & website online listening

FLAC takes up more space than MP3, and many people can’t distinguish the difference (either because of the audio equipment used or just natural human imperceptible differences), but for audiophiles, it matters a lot! For higher grade equipment, the differences between FLAC and MP3 becomes more noticeable. As a low level (???) audiophile myself, I understand your preference!! Of course, many people go to sleep with basic earphones or use phone speakers, so the differences don’t matter much for these use cases.

As for support sites… I’d like to offer you more perks for supporting me, so you don’t just get the 128KBPS audio Youtuber listeners get, but a higher quality 320KBPS one (which is the current standard I’m using for these audios), maybe even FLAC!! However, I’m prioritizing my backlog though at the moment and future plans, so if you can patiently wait for me, I definitely want to seriously consider uploading FLAC versions of future ASMRs.
