Are FLAC files worth it?

FLAC files aren’t always appropriate or worth it, since they require so much storage space. If you’re working out, a regular MP3 will be just fine. So there’s very little point in listening to lossless files over a Bluetooth link, which means you should only consider a wired connection for it to make sense.
