How do I compress 650 GB of flac files to fit in 1 GB?
Easy, just compress all your collection into 24kbps mp3.
I genuinely did concert a bunch of my stuff to 32kbps MP3 when I had a shitty like, 64MB MP3 player. It sounded horrible but I could have more songs.
Then I got a job and literally the moment I had saved enough I bought an iPod. Thatβs when I learned about how much sales tax can scale on larger purchases. And also how overdraft fees work. Very valuable lessons for a high school student.
I mean it might work. But I will never go back to mp3. Besides mp3 is pretty much obsolete when ogg opus creates smaller files with not as much audible compression. I need my flac.
