It sounds like you’re looking for a helpful feature related to that specific release: Sade – Diamond Life (1984, 2000 reissue, FLAC format).

Why FLAC, not MP3?

• Bit-for-Bit perfection: FLAC compresses without losing data. An MP3 at 320kbps throws away frequencies above 16-18kHz. Sade’s voice has harmonics that extend beyond that. The brush on the snare in “Smooth Operator” has a transient attack that MP3 encoding smears into a “swoosh.” FLAC preserves the transient.
• The Midnight Hour Test: Listen to “Your Love Is King” on a good DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) via FLAC. Hear the way Sade’s vocal reverb decays naturally into silence. On MP3, that reverb gets truncated or gated. On FLAC, the soundstage remains three-dimensional.
• Archival Longevity: FLAC files can be transcoded to any other format (ALAC for Apple users, MP3 for a car stereo) without generational loss. Starting with a FLAC from the 2000 Diamond Life means you own a master copy.
