Choosing the right audio format isn’t just a technical detail—it’s a make-or-break decision that determines how faithfully your mix holds up from tracking to final release. This guide breaks down the four most popular formats—WAV, AIFF, FLAC, and MP3—and explains when and why each one makes...

Lossless audio on Spotify Premium has finally — FINALLY! — arrived. Spotify describes its new lossless streaming option as “one of the most anticipated features on Spotify,” and that is definitely an understatement. Behind the scenes, Spotify has been toying with offering a lossless option for...
