Stop Using MP3s

I store my mp3s on my NAS which is cooled to 5 degrees celcius. Keeps my mp3s fresh like a motherfucker.

Not this shit again.

What if I store my music on a SSD? Last time I checked those have no rotating parts.

data rot does not work this way senpai

>>59637160
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.

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.

Post this shit on /mu/ or /v/ where tech illiterate kids will get scared and it will be funny
It's just annoying here

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

I haven't heard (tehee) about this meme audio codec in a long long time.

>>59641009
It's only worse quality than it was 23 years ago and you didn't notice because the change was gradual.

>>59635702

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?

>>59641354
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.

Fucking neo-/g/

>>59641395
>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?

>>59641430
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

>>59641473
its ok

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..

>>59637160
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).

>>59641354
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.

Google give me only /mu/, /g/ and that one site that I don't even know or give a shit on OP pasta.

>>59641723
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
