another fun fact
all music encoded in lossy formats such as mp3 before 2009 has degraded into a virtually unlistenable state
for each year the MP3 sits on your hard drive, it will lose roughly 12kbps, assuming you have SATA - it’s about 4kbps on SSDs, due to rotational velocidensity.
always encode your music in lossless formats like FLAC only download FLAC music dont listen to streams that dont deliver FLAC they will lose their quality
for each year the MP3 sits on your hard drive, it will lose roughly 12kbps, assuming you have SATA
Heard this can also vary depending on whether your SATA is 1.5/3/6 Gbits/sec as well as the age of the drive (platter spin speed and whatnot) - in general I recommend just keeping the “two in the bush one in the air” adage in mind. personally I like to have physical music, and then FLAC copies on my personal PC & mirrored onto my NAS!
Godspeed! :rat-salute:
(Nobody fall for these trolls, I have no idea what the technical literacy rate is on this forum)
NGL this kinda sounds bullshit, unless you’re reencoding or compressing the file over and over I don’t think magnetic orientation errors or general entropy leads to that much degradation. At worst a few bits get flipped and a CRC fails or something. But also in the process of typing this I realized this might just be a bit and I’m making this comment for nothing idk. :shrug-outta-hecks:
Yeah, but will that last 20% require exponentially increasing amounts of co2 production until life on the planet is destroyed and thus ensuring the supply won’t be exhausted?
lol ok you got me, I had to look up whether they had designed it so badly
