Mostly flac because I no longer have a library per say, just all my ripped cds and some other songs for storage. I never bothered to put anything on my new phone.

You mean the stream I don't watch? The videos I don't watch? 

He is just a guy, a guy with an opinion, and you know what they say about opinions. 

(For post contrabution, I run only 256-320kbps mp3, since thats all you need.)

Well that's their problem. I haven't seen a post down here where people were rude for a while. If they're scared to come down here then that's not our problem. Most of the regulars down here are actually very nice but we hate when people offer bad advice. Also, complaining that the mods moved your post which in my opinion should have been moved does not help anything.
