    In my case I use FLAC because when Plex transcodes, FLAC > Opus sounds better than MP3 > Opus. Almost all my media was ripped by me direct from CD, with some coming from Bandcamp.

      See the problem there is that Plex is transcoding instead of just supporting popular audio formats directly.

        Plex does support FLAC. It’s transcoding to reduce data usage. You always have the option of playing the original, I’m doing it right now.
