I agree that FLAC is better than mp3 in the sense of quality and
compatibility. On the other hand it is way bigger than mp3 - some people do
not have an ability/wish to download such big files, others don't know how
to use them (even if include all required software/instructions in the zip)
and some artists don't have suitable connections to upload them. So I guess
that's a bit of problem here.
Btw, I was actually thinking about making Intelligent Toys 2 lossless...

You should ask the artists to encode them to FLAC rather than
MP3, then let the end user encode them how they like. FLAC is a
lossless format, like WAV, but it's about 4 to 5x larger than an MP3
file. WAV is more like 8 to 9x larger than MP3. MP3 sucks, I can't
believe it ever got standardized. A 56kbps ogg encoded track has
better quality than a 128kbps mp3.
Have a nice day now,
