The Lounge 0001 [From the Beginning]

Problem is, I think I’m already going nuts on placebos.
My stupid head tells me that wav sounds better than flac.
Can’t be, shouldn’t be possible with my current setup and even with high-end gear I doubt I’d be able to hear a difference. But the bitrate is higher with wav, thus my head thinks it’s better.

I’d rather have many than no source media and only shitty 128 or even 64kbps mp3s ripped from YT.

Fuck…the lowest I have is 32kbps…

Yep thats always the problem with audio.

Can’t remember how much I actually have. think its less than 20 albums but some are 4 disc with 10 tracks each so yeah.

Most of my music right now is 320kbp mp3s with some of in flac as I still had some wav files laying around on my system.

It’s pretty fast with foobar2000. Don’t know about Linux alternatives…a shame it’s not available there, especially considering how much you can tweak it to your likes.

Masses - 320kbps mp3 - OR Classes - 1000+kbps flac?
Under 10mb per song OR 50+mb?

Oh, the choices…

I made a script that loops through a directory and converts everything with sox. works pretty well and is really fast. Mostly just use cmus for local music on Linux because its clean and simple and gets the job done. plus doesn’t really take up any space as I have it as a tab in my terminal.

I mean if you have the capacity to store it then why not have them as flac?

shudders

I get uncomfortable as soon as a drive is 2/3 full, which is the case for all of them except C (boot + drivers + some programs) and D (programs + docs + games).
Probably gonna need a new one soon. Replace one of the old 1TB WD Blue with a 4TB.

It really isn’t bad. UI is very clean and simple but lets you get pretty advanced if you want to, also has a separate app that lets you control it from the commandline which I’ve used to setup hotkeys in i3 for everything. means I don’t even have to use the UI at all most of the time.

yeah kinda gets crazy when you have to store everything. One of the reasons I’ve been putting off converting all my stuff to flac is that I 100% don’t have enough disk space for that right now and don’t really want to buy another drive just yet.

By the way if anyone is looking for an easy to use software to create a bootable usb install drive this is pretty good and neat:

I’ve tested it with a couple of different linux distro iso files and it just works.


On a separate note I’ve almost written a whole page for chapter 6 in 20 minutes. I might finally be getting through my writers block on this story. Time will tell.

neat will drop by in a little while if I can.

@Michael the ocd…it doesn’t stop. kinda thinking about re-doing my movies with better audio now…fuck.

It isn’t worth it, you must resist.

Whats that like 4.7TBs worth of stuff to redo? yeah… no.

Nah, just the bluays. Wouldn’t bother with the DVDs and anime.
~500GB

That doesn’t sound as bad. how many movies is that?

Oh wait. Did a dumb. 500GB is both blurays and DVDs combined. Only half of that is from blurays.
111 files.
But…it’s movies and I’m watching them with my headphones or 100€ speakers, so…no benefit of surround dolby transformers circlejerk format. Meh.

yeah not bad. I mean you could do it but still think its not worth it unless there’s a really big difference in the audio quality but I doubt it.
