What is your preferred format for music? I use Opus at 192 kbps since I prefer open-source and it supposedly is "near-perfect" quality, but I know a few people who store FLACs instead.
I think it's important for OP: I too do store music that I like because I want to avoid to continuously pay for crappy streaming services. Most of my music is bought from Bandcamp, or ripped from CDs that I had previously bought. It needs some tweaking to make those files available on a smartphone, but it's worth it.
Usually only FLACs for future proofing my collection.
Most is may be fake FLACs but whatever.
If you're worried about fake FLACs, why not test them?
Throwing your songs into a spectrum analyzer is just super fun too
