little explanation, my ass is off to a group home and i need to offload hundreds of gigabytes of music, video and other content from my sister's external hard drive onto my computer's hard disk which only has 80gb left, so i can drop it off at a friend's house while i get my life back on track.

What should i use to compress this data into the smallest compressed filesize i can? I don't care if it takes 10 hours to compress and 5 to decompress, as long as it fits on my drive

Also, i dont even have enough money to my name for an external hard drive

Upload it to the internet and then download

This was already on my mind, but thanks. I will compress and transfer copies between two or three cloud services.

who cares about your bad taste in music

what did you do

Go to fiverr/upwork/mechanicalturk. There, you can do easy jobs that require little to no brainwork.

Since you have ~15 hours to spare, you can easily make $53.

That hard drive reminded me of when i saw it at jb hi fi (australian best buy)

i have a $30 jb hi fi gift card, and $45 left in the bank

in australia it costs $79 for that model.

i think i can haggle this one out.

im trans and my parents dont like it

that's quite the pickle. i can't exactly offer any advice on this predicament or speak from any experience

i wish you well on your future endeavors

You have good parents. Being "trans" is just a phase, sooner or later you will figure out the world is better off without you.

thank you

also, i think im just gonna tar.xz folders in the main directory (including smaller ones together) and upload to a cloud service + hope for the best

>based parents
listen to them, kid. they know far far more than you realize. also, stop stealing music. theft is a bad habit that's better to nip in the bud when you're young.

you cunt. my parents are abusive and they were even when i was living as "their straight son".

you could just write down all the stuff you like, store it in a readme, upload it to your google account and be worry free

Best way to do it is use 7zip at ultra compression, then transfer the files via two way LAN (ethernet) connection. You may need homegrouping and file sharing if on Windows.
Cloud services are unreliable and laughably slow for high quantities of data

>upload to google
>worry free

A broken clock is correct twice a day

are you one of those people that gets their shit disabled for being stupid and then cries fowl?

i've been seeing a lot of this lately. you use their stuff, if you do something retarded they have every right to throw you out just like in the burger joints you're so fond of fatty

If i wasn't trans and it was just abuse of somebody non-trans, you wouldnt be saying the same bullshit. Also i suffered abuse before they knew i was trans. Get fucked asshole.
also, what if i told you that a large amount of my music is direct CD rips, vinyl rips made with my own turntable, and music available for free online. A lot of it is bandcamp downloads too, and i believe in supporting artists. Some of the music i bought is no longer available from bandcamp due to removal, and knowing the state of the streaming age in the music industry, i never know when an album i paid good money for will no longer be available for download on my account. Get fucked.

I have direct access to the external USB hard drive. But its my sisters and im no longer going to be living in the same house as her. but thanks anyway.

there are plenty of other places he could put a fucking readme, other cloud providers even
anything i would want to have in 5 years i would not but on drive

>stealing
He didn't grab CDs off stores, he just downloaded 1s and0s from an unlimited supply.

by the way, that greentext wasn't me. I will reply to your above comment in a second.

sincerely OP

i don't understand, what's wrong with google drive

is it a reliability issue with their services or are you mad about something else? don't tell me, is it your political views or something

Some of it is unavailable online, and a lot of it took me hours of searching too. But thanks for the input. I will be doing this when it comes to content i could do without that is in unlimited supply online. And for the idiot above who thinks i pirate music so heavily; most of the albums i "pirate" are just digital copies of records i already own.

Wow, shitty parents raised a shitty son that wants to be a girl now.
It's almost like the apple never falls far from the tree.

I don't blame you. But if you have a good head on your shoulders you'll realize you're retarded before you turn into a suicide statistic.

Good luck with that shit, though, user. I'd offer advise but the user that mentioned 7zip and cloud services already did that for me. Getting your own external ain't a bad idea either, I'm sure you can scrape the money together somehow :^).

Well apparently sex workers have been getting their n00ds removed by jewgle from their drives. We're talking about a, uh, "transperson" here, and we all know which industry they usually end up in.

Yeah I was about to suggest getting rid of the shit you can find again.

>abuse
being told to clean your room isn't abuse
>vinyl rips
yuck, throw that shit away and get cd's
compressing audio is difficult because there aren't as many patterns that can be compressed
if you have a dvd burner, then burning the files as data dvd's will allow you to store about 4G per disc
it might take a while, but at least they are cheap and easy to store and transport

Sometimes I wonder how many Sup Forumsentlemen are actually trannies
go figure, mentall illness (freetardism) is correlated with mental illness (travestism)
who fucking knew
>and i believe in supporting artists
kek
you're a trannie who's being kicked out of your home with no 50 bucks to spare and u care about the artists. go figure
>my music is direct CD rips, vinyl rips made with my own turntable, and music available for free online. A lot of it is bandcamp downloads too
an "artsy" type person becomes a penniless trannie. go figure.
>But if you have a good head on your shoulders you'll realize you're retarded before you turn into a suicide statistic.
no fucking chance, if he did he wouldn't be in this situation
>Also i suffered abuse before they knew i was trans.
they were mad at you because you were being a retard and not doing whatever they told you to do. you weren't "abused", being abused is being raped at 3 am on a shady street corner
