That being said, it's definitely more piece of mind then a real SQ difference. I really don't see data storage space as any issue here.Įh, I rip and store FLAC because I like knowing that nothing got lost between the cd and my speakers. A 500GB drive for $35 bucks or whatever will be able to store you about 18,000 songs in lossless. My collection is about 5000 tracks and that takes up 128GB utilizing the lossless FLAC compression. Transcoding is a horrible horrible thing and can easily be avoided by doing what I do.Īlso, I do have a decent set of cans and a headphone amp and I believe that in some types of music and with some great recordings I can indeed hear the difference between 320k MP3 and lossless. It only takes my i7 an hour and a half to chew through my ~5000 songs to go from FLAC to AAC. Also If some new and improved compressed codec comes out or I get a player or streamer or something that works better with another codec, I can encode my library into that and always have the best quality available. If I get a larger player in the future I can then simply re-encode my collection to 256k or 320k from the original lossless copies.

This way you can always re-encode it in to the best format for a specific device you might be using in the future.įor example, my current portable is my 32GB iPhone so I batch encode my FLAC library into 192k vbr AAC because thats the best codec available for my iPhone and that bitrate allows me to fit my collection. I strongly believe it's worth storing your music collection in lossless.
