Part 5: The Ethics of FLAC Collecting – Supporting the Band
Asking Alexandria has faced lineup changes, label disputes, and streaming revenue struggles. Buying their FLACs directly contributes more than 100 streams on Spotify. Here’s the breakdown:
- Spotify payout per stream: ~$0.003 – need ~3,000 streams for a $9 album equivalent.
- One FLAC purchase on Qobuz: Artist receives ~70% of $12 = $8.40 – equivalent to 2,800 streams.
Vinyl vs. FLAC: Many of their albums have been reissued on vinyl. A vinyl-ripped FLAC (24-bit/96kHz) offers a different master—often less compressed than the CD. Compare the CD version of Stand Up and Scream (DR4 – heavily compressed) to the 2014 vinyl remaster (DR9 – more dynamic). Seek out “Vinyl FLAC” rips from trusted rippers.

EPs & Rarities in FLAC
- Life Gone Wild (2010) – Includes the standout cover of “18 and Life” (Skid Row). The raw dynamics of the original recording shine in lossless.
- Under the Influence (2019 – Covers EP) – Acoustic versions. FLAC preserves the natural room reverb and finger-picking details.
Method 4: Apple Music / Tidal (with a catch)
- Apple Music’s “Lossless” is ALAC (identical to FLAC). However, the files are DRM-protected unless you are a subscriber. Buy from iTunes Plus (256kbps AAC – not lossless!). Avoid for archiving.
