The jazz-pop genre relies heavily on high-frequency percussion (shakers, hi-hats, triangles) and deep low-end bass. Lossy formats (like MP3 or AAC) cut off frequencies above 16kHz to save file space. A verified FLAC guarantees a full spectral analysis, ensuring no high-frequency data has been shaved off.
