My decision to rip all of my audio losslessly to FLAC has been vindicated. I rip to Vorbis as well, but I always thought it was worth having the lossless originals around too. That way, if a new codec arrived on the scene at a later date, I could rerip to that without any further loss of quality. That codec is now here. Hello, Opus!

      • Work laptop, plugged in my own LAN... Copy... Done... What is 40GB these days? There are USB sticks that can hold that (but I admit, I don't own any).

  • Keeping good quality audio files while mother nature turns your hearing to shit year after year. Rock on.
