It's not even a concern. However, I have a box of CDs that I ripped to 96kbps Vorbis in the early 2000s, and I think this time I'll go straight to FLAC. Plex will transcode to the flavour-of-the-month codec on the fly when listening with limited bandwidth. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jtablerd@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* I have my flacs on a 2tb nvme drive in a little usb-c enclosure, kinda like a big USB stick. It's about half full... Also have a couple hundred records so I'm pretty agnostic on format I guess. Still use foobar2000 too to manage and play lol permalink fedilink source parent [–] uis@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children) Imagine stroring WAVs permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago* (1 child) I actually tried doing that when I first decided to start archiving my own CDs. I ripped with abcde to flac but kept both copies. The idea was to keep .wav as a sort of "master" original and then copy the flacs to my phone and laptop for listening. That way if something happened I could always go back to my "masters" without having to rip the CD again. Honestly the wav files aren't that much bigger than flac and I feel like storage wouldn't be much of an issue today, but I started this project several years ago when an 8TB hard drive was still $600+ and I quickly ran out of space. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] uis@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Why would you need "masters" when you use lossless codec anyway? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) I guess the idea was that if something happened to flac like new devices stopped supporting it for whatever reason, or if a better lossless format came along, it would be much easier to go back to the wavs and convert them to a different format. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] uis@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) It is easy to convert them back to wav, so... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago Converting back and forth, even from lossless to lossless, is a good way to lose or corrupt data.
