How many songs is that ?

Honestly, I don't know because I don't have it all on my computer at one time. I haven't always done it the same way (FLAC and APE weren't around when I started archiving), so I have less versions of some songs than others. As soon as MP3 came around I knew that's where it was all going because I'd worked with .wav long enough to know that going from 500-600MB average per album down to 60-80MB was a game changer, especially at a time when 30GB hard drives were considered massive. Most of it is redundant as it's just the same song encoded at different compression rates but I'd hazard a guess at around 80k for individual songs.

May I ask why you do it ?

1. because I'm a nerd
2. i refuse to buy digital copies of albums, so i have to rip them later
3. i take music everywhere and play it on different devices; format/bitrate can (and does) affect battery life and sound

I rip to wav for pure archival purposes but it's a massive file format so I don't play them. I use MP3 on my portable devices, different bitrates for different devices because of battery life and/or format support and I use FLAC for home audio/pc.

So you buy physical copies then convert them over ? Or torrent ?
