These days, when I think of an old album I want to repurchase in high resolution (either 16-bit or 24-bit FLAC), or if I come across a new release I instantly fall in love with, I go ahead and buy it as a standalone FLAC digital download. But this post isn’t about how I’ve been dipping my toes into the wild world of audiophiles and high-resolution music rather, I want to highlight an excellent Mac app I’ve been using to organize and edit the metadata of the FLAC music library I’ve been assembling over the past year. I detailed the entire story in the December 2019 episode of our Club-exclusive MacStories Unplugged podcast, but in short: I still use Apple Music to stream music every day and discover new artists however, for those times when I want to more intentionally listen to music without doing anything else, I like to sit down, put on my good Sony headphones, and try to enjoy all the sonic details of my favorite songs that wouldn’t normally be revealed by AirPods or my iPad Pro’s speakers. For the past year, I’ve been using a high-res Sony music player to listen to my personal music collection.
