With things like Plex, there's a tradeoff between convenience and quality.
CD to MP3 - When encoded well, it seems fairly difficult to tell thedifference in quality. If I want to
quickly bring up a movie or show to watch, often I'm okay with it. I dostill like to buy movies on
blu-ray though, for the quality.

My ISP (Telus) does this. Port 21, 25 and 80 are blocked. There may be others that I haven't noticed.

I have a NAS box at home, and playback via Kodi on an NVidia Shield TV. Unfortunately, it's about the only decent small device that does network h.265 @ 4K decently. I also have a couple fire sticks and chromecasts. Really wish the shield tv was better supported by third party apps though.
Aside: DM, really like the enhanced support for telnet/ssh from a regular terminal, though the backspace/delete keys on mac (iterm) seem a bit off.
Switching to Linux in a couple months when I do a new build anyway.

Only with the big telcos. I have had service from a company that isn't a telco for about 15 years and they don't block any ports.
I wonder if that company provides services here? There are only two choices here that I know of. Telus and Shaw. Telus is the telco and Shaw is the cable provid er for BC and I think most of western Canada.
audio and video are apples and oranges, though.
when you throw away quality from video, you can see artifacts and other issues.

Here we may get into some confusion, because there's different types of
hasthe listening experiences on vinyl and tape. Some modern songs
been used for decades to make radio statiosns sound "louder", and improve
seem to use a ridiculous amount of this kind of compression, whether that'sfor effect or some other reason.
But I was referring to the lossy data compression used to compress audio -MP3, AAC, etc. And I've done my own tests using source
materialtracks up to that point.
like CDs, which I doubt have had lossy data compression used on their audio

when they converted to cd in 1982 they used the original source tapes which had limitations to them.
everytime you copy or compress youre bound to lose a little bit of quality. nothing is perfect.

A lot depends on the quality of the encoder. Not all 128kbps MP3s are equal! Those older 128kbps MP3s sounded pretty bad actually. And then
VBR made things better, but then CBR encoders got better and VBR wasn't really worth the backwards compatibility issues. So... these aren't
your dad's MP3s you're hearing today (unless they were *encoded* in the 90's, of course)!

I've been using Frontier for the past several years, and they don't seem to block port 25.
I am also useing Comcast and they do block port 80 , and 25 and a few others they are vary testy when it comes to running a private server from home. I used to be able relay though comcast a few years ago but they don't even allow that anymore. At this time vert has been nice enough to relay mail for me.
