I'm just ripping an audio CD... for the first time in almost 10 years. This brings back some really weird nostalgic feelings and memories.

@fribbledom Still the best long term storage format for both data and audio.

@breakfastgolem @fribbledom Another fun fact worth remembering - An Audio CD records the soundtrack as streams, not files, due to the hardware limitations of the 70s. In other words, there is no guarantee that the soundtrack you just ripped is even correct. The common procedure is ripping multiple times and take the majority result as the "correct" version.But we still have to stuck at CDs, because all the alternatives have/will have DRM by design.

@breakfastgolem @niconiconi Same reason I'm sticking to physical media in general. Plus you can easily lend it, gift it, sell it or simply appreciate it on a shelf.Sadly they're completely ignoring the "neat art" part with video games nowadays.

@fribbledom Remember when it was part art-form, part science, to get a decent rip?(Funny, I just did my first couple of new rips in ages, last weekend. I know the feeling!)

@fribbledom @breakfastgolem @niconiconi the biggest problem I have is the number of books is slowly overwhelming my apartment

@fribbledom Woah... Yeah. Big time nostalgia there.I need to do that soon as well. There's a few CDs that I've wanted to listen to in the car but I don't have a CD player and Spotify doesn't carry those albums.. :/

@fribbledom whoa who’d have thought I’d have nostalgia for late 90s / early 2000s early digital culture growing pains.I got my first MP3, “Song to the Siren” by This Mortal Coil, off of freakin Usenet in 1997, and the only Mac MP3 encoder for the longest time was a reference Classic application from Fraunhofer which required that CD tracks be converted to stereo 16-bit 44.1kHz WAV. It would invariably crash the Mac hard upon completion.

@fribbledom @breakfastgolem @niconiconi I mostly listen to Google Play Music and Digitally Imported Radio these days (besides in the car where I have a USB flash drive full of MP3s plugged into the ICE), but I still love having CDs on my bookcase :)My PC has a combo CD/DVD/Blu-ray/HD-DVD(!!) drive from way back, so I can rip all the optical media :D I bought a dozen films on HD-DVD when Blu-ray won and shops chucked out HD-DVDs for pennies ;)

@gergolippai At this point I'm mostly going for 320kbit CBR. It's not like I'll ever be able to fill up my disks with MP3s again 😂

@fribbledom Why MP3 at all? It's 2018 and we have nice widely supported codecs like AAC :)
