There might be a CPU "sweet spot" for Bandcamp, in terms of overall
server costs. Every FLAC that I have ever downloaded from Bandcamp
(whether free or paid, high-def or Red Book Stereo) has not been
compressed with the maximum level. I wrote a shell script to repack FLAC
files at the maximum compression level, optionally with comments saved
to a separate text file (if they contain lyrics or extensive notes).
