>>59767429

>>59767369

oh fuck off

128k AAC/mp4 and 24/48 flac is all you need

small and good - hires without wasting disk space

dsd 128 if you want to show off

320k MP3 is all I need, once I feel comfortable with my library I'll shrink it to VBR mp3

>>59769010
But Opus can go at 96kbps without noticeable compression artifacts, why would you use 128k AAC/mp4 instead?

Yes. But i'm still using it because its useless to transcode my library from mp3, and i'm not going to re-download/rip everything.

What kind of dipshit rips in a lossy format? Rip in lossless to archive, then convert to lossy for (portable) use.

>>59767324
are you retarded?

>>59769060
Source?

>>59769120
I believe there were tests on hydrogen audio or something.

>>59769091
Picture is related, my lossless archive is stored on 12cm diameter polycarbonate disc.
I'm not wasting my storage with an exact copy of what I already have.

>>59769186
Sure, but the point of ripping is to get easy access to your files. You just said yourself, you aren't going to re-rip everything, that proves that your lossless archive is worse than a FLAC archive. You are incapable of easily following new formats. Besides, it's not like you can really "waste" storage, it's pretty fucking cheap.
