[Coco] ANOTHER OFF TOPIC (FYI)...

[rietveld rietveld]

If you do decide to take advantage of the mp3's smaller size and go that route you should probably archive the originals in FLAC format. A FLAC can easily be converted to MP3 for that purpose but once you convert to MP3 you can never restore that song to its original fidelity. So having the originals on a harddrive using a Lossless format  ‎is the preferred long term storage method.

But of course if you are listening to the music in a car it’s not likely that the reproduction is hi-fidelity enough to make a difference. Combine that with road noise and the higher frequency hearing loss that all adults experience as they age and you’re not likely to notice the difference between a lossy mp3 recording and a standard audio CD. I’m still driving a 2002 vehicle with 300k+ miles on it so I can’t take advantage of the higher density of an mp3 disk because the OEM player of that era did not support it. But if I could, I’d gladly switch over. I could then just bring along just one or two disks for a long road trip.

While I have no problem with this, I explained that it would be MUCH easier to make them a Music Data CD rather than an actual "Music CD". A typical "Music CD" usually contains around 10-20 music files while a "Music Data CD" can contain anywhere from 100 to 125 Music Files (on ONE CD). A HUGE difference...

These "Music Data DVD's" can typically contain anywhere from 3000-4000 songs on EACH DVD...
