For physical stores there are other shitty places that aren’t those 3. Big lots, ocean state job lot, a version of that type of discount store that exists in your area, dollar general, dollar tree, thrift stores.

Really there are so many options that aren’t those 3. It really is possible

I assume they want full quality audio but don’t know that flac exists
