While copying a bunch of 20GB blu-ray rips, it occurred to me that I once decided to only rip my MP3s in 192kbit instead of 320kbit, just to conserve a bit of valuable disk space.
That probably was a ridiculously short-sighted decision...
In related news: it's about time I start archiving everything in 4k, x265. Right? Right.
@fribbledom One way to think about this is the cost in time of having to redo all the ripping vs the cost of another disk or two. Don't want to end up like the guy who runs a local radio station who goes on the air with like 64 kbps MP3s that he ripped himself. Even through the FM modulation/demodulation it's still possible to hear the compression artefacts
@donblanco That kind of depends what year @fribbledom did their ripping. A lot of early MP3 encoders were pretty crap. Modern LAME is probably fine @ 192 kbps tho I agree
I'm glad I went with flac.
