Rotational velocidensity affects all audio files encoded with lossy compression. These include mp3, aac, and ogg.
The most notable effect of rotational velocidensity is the loss of bitrate in files. A lossy audio file will lose an average of 12kbps a year. But, this can vary greatly depending on the type of storage media used.
Examples:
SATA HDD: ~12kbps IDE HDD: ~15kbps SCSI HDD: ~7kbps DVD: ~16kbps CD-R/RW: >21kbps
This can be overcome by compressing audio using lossless formats such as FLAC, APE, or TTA. These formats are designed to never lose quality over time, and will sound the same right now as they will in 10 years.
I store my mp3s on my NAS which is cooled to 5 degrees celcius. Keeps my mp3s fresh like a motherfucker.

People actually swallow this horseshit?

Not this shit again.

What if I store my music on a SSD? Last time I checked those have no rotating parts.
Leo Morales
data rot does not work this way senpai
Angel Sanchez
SSD's are only abstractions of actual, rotating hard drives. No storing device is exempt from the low-level effects of rotational velocidensity, which will rapidly deteriote your MP3's.
It's $(CURRENT_YEAR) already, just use lossless formats.

>It's this->presentDynasty = presentDynasty so you should use files that are 10 times larger and the same quality because a snake oil merchant told me to.

My Himalayan salt lamp protects my data from bit rot by charging the area around my pc with positive ions. Stop trying to sell me snake oil.
Evan Jackson
>mount hard drives in RAID1 pairs with one drive in each pair flipped upside down so the rotational velocidensity efffect is negated >some mp3's even gained 0.5kbps from the counter-active bit refinement over a few years

I'm a pagan I don't believe in lossless formats

It's only worse quality than it was 23 years ago and you didn't notice because the change was gradual.
Aiden Hughes
delet this sir

The guy who wrote it (Matt Ashland) had a traumatic brain injury a couple of years ago but now he's doing a lot better and pushing out updates to it

So let's say I take all of my MP3 files and convert them to FLAC... what's the size difference? How large would a 10MB MP3 file become after I convert it? If it doubles in size, then go fuck yourself. If less than half a MB is added, then tell me more.

>storing music
spotify, google play music, pandora, literally any music streaming website.
they're all available to you, why waste your time?
Henry Thomas
At best it will double in size but it's worth it for the 10x increase in quality you'll get by converting your lossy MP3s to lossless FLAC.

>why waste your time? Heh, over here we get paid for our time, it's called "work". So when you use what you mentioned, you have to pay $∞.∞∞ to be able to keep the music for life.
"Waste of time"? You sure you understood this concept of preserving time?
Ayden Long
so you're telling me you work to buy the music you store, each album, song etc
as opposed to paying 8$ a month to listen to it forever, and save it locally for when your internet is down?
are are you a dirty fucking thief trying to say your job makes you any less of a shitstain
Anthony White
its ok
Easton Cruz
or are*
being sick sucks
Blake Sanders
You stupid, i have a script that plays all of my MP3 files in reverse so the negative rotational velocidensity results in a gain of bitrate overnight
My entire music collection has better quality than even the original pieces, checkmate atheists
>The most notable effect of rotational velocidensity is the loss of bitrate in files.
As someone who's been using RAID6 for years and years I call bullshit. Raid-check has never reported random bits being flipped. Drives failures on the other hand do happen and if you don't raid you loose more than a few bits.
I do agree that .flac is superior regardless of your bullshit story. A few moves take more space than a huge collection of flacs anyway..
Raid1 SSDs with a dpinning disk write-mostly (only reads SSD unless very busy or failed). Never store anything on a single drive, ever - unless you can't raid it (phones etc).
Never convert .mp3 to .flac, ever. Replace it with a flac ripped off CD or vinyl. Converting a lossy format to a lossless don't give you the losses back, just a shitty flac. Please don't.
Pic related, that's A-Pink.
Cameron Powell
Google give me only Sup Forums, Sup Forums and that one site that I don't even know or give a shit on OP pasta.
Jaxson Johnson
listen, if you have to google the term you should probably just listen to the experts here
next, try googling "jitter" which is arguably even a bigger problem than rotational velocidensity

For the same reason I use a nice set of speakers or headphones instead of some $20 set from Walmart.
