Where do you store your FLACs?

Where do you store your FLACs?

on my 128gb nvme ssd

...

spotify

I just got a new xl hard drive

On my storage device

I rotate mine and their backups between drives daily to prevent bit rot

On my seedbox, after i connect them to ALAC

the fridge

On my NAS, after I use redoflac to reduce the filesize.

dvd-r

on a 128gb sd card which i hide under my sweaty moob

I write them out on legal pads. Gives it a warm feel.

On floppy disks

Must be horrible to be a poor fag

>bit rot
Hehehe.

>ALAC
Heretic!

Sneakernet, the best net.

well how would i play FLAC on iTunes? also it has cover art and lyrics embedded

>iTunes

ALAC is good, but 99% of shit online is flac.

Not him, but I like the library layout; it's easy on the eyes for visual thinkers like myself and especially nice for multi-disc albums.

it's the default player on my computer?
yeah that's why i automatically transcode files to alac when i dl

Fucking atrocious

It's simple to transcode between the two and you don't lose any quality.

Post your music player's UI.

>not even using Foobar2000 instead at least

Top jej.

foobar is for plebs

Hearing the difference now isn’t the reason to encode to FLAC. FLAC uses lossless compression, while MP3 is ‘lossy’. What this means is that for each year the MP3 sits on your hard drive, it will lose roughly 12kbps, assuming you have SATA – it’s about 15kbps on IDE, but only 7kbps on SCSI, due to rotational velocidensity. You don’t want to know how much worse it is on CD-ROM or other optical media.

I started collecting MP3s in about 2001, and if I try to play any of the tracks I downloaded back then, even the stuff I grabbed at 320kbps, they just sound like crap. The bass is terrible, the midrange…well don’t get me started. Some of those albums have degraded down to 32 or even 16kbps. FLAC rips from the same period still sound great, even if they weren’t stored correctly, in a cool, dry place. Seriously, stick to FLAC, you may not be able to hear the difference now, but in a year or two, you’ll be glad you did.

i don't want to lose data due to electron decay from spinning my platters so i get it as cold as possible, reduce entropy, and maintain data integrity

in a cool dry place of course
