My girlfriend doesn't believe that converting her MP3s to the waveform FLAC/ALAC will protect them from bitrot. How can I redpill her, /mu/?

I've been on 4chan for 1 year and trust me I know bitrot's just a myth.
What fucking bitrot? Are you a technically illiterate wannabe collector who's gonna store his indie rock songs for ages or something? Don't think about such thing. Don't convert lossy to losless, it's pointless.
You don't have to convert them. Just keep your mp3s in the fridge and they'll be fine.

I did this years ago with an unreleased Radiohead song I came across and it still sounds just like them

Look, maybe back in the late 90s/early 00s rotational velocidensity was a problem, but electrical infetterance has rendered it pretty much irrelevant at this point. As long as you make sure to wash your hard drive with strong bleach every few months, you're not going to have any problem saving sound files in MP3. End of story.

I should try that. I've just been using soap, but it doesn't seem to be working that well anymore.

How the hell is converting from one format to another supposed to protect you from bitrot?
>>68938712
Because flac preserves the shape of the sound rather than just the bytes of it.

I don't think that you know how storage works.

I bet she uses the white apple earbuds lmao

Converting from mp3 to flac does NOT increase quality.
>>68940672
It prevents quality loss though.
>>68940672
Did I say it did?
dumb fuck
>>68940720
You clearly did here >>68940624, assuming that you read the thread this is what your post means.
>>68940688
No, it does not.
