is the fingerprinting more useful on the lossless formats?
2007-05-01 12115, 2007
BrianG
more useful?
2007-05-01 12121, 2007
ajh
more accurate/reliable.
2007-05-01 12100, 2007
ajh
Re-ripping everything to m4a for now, will convert to FLAC when the new MacOS comes out with support.
2007-05-01 12145, 2007
BrianG
i'm guessing a fingerprints a fingerprint
2007-05-01 12158, 2007
BrianG
for some reason i think it re encodes everything to a low level kbps type dealy, and then does the fingerprint stuff
2007-05-01 12128, 2007
BrianG
i could be wrong
2007-05-01 12114, 2007
Aankhen``
ajh: You'll convert M4A to FLAC? ~_^
2007-05-01 12115, 2007
ajh
Aankhen``, yes because all my other machines can deal with FLAC better, so can a number of other tools.
2007-05-01 12130, 2007
Aankhen``
...butbutbut...
2007-05-01 12132, 2007
ajh
Better format anyway.
2007-05-01 12153, 2007
Aankhen``
Yes, it's a better format since it's lossless, but you do know that lossy -> lossless doesn't add lost quality, right?
2007-05-01 12109, 2007
ajh
M4A being Apple Lossless in an Mpeg-4 Container.
2007-05-01 12117, 2007
Aankhen``
Ohh.
2007-05-01 12120, 2007
Aankhen``
Whew.
2007-05-01 12131, 2007
Aankhen``
Stupid Apple M4A.
2007-05-01 12154, 2007
Aankhen``
I just associate M4A with AAC automatically, since I figure other formats are smart enough to use the right extension.
2007-05-01 12108, 2007
Aankhen``
I should probably update my mental model to accommodate Apple Lossless, though.
2007-05-01 12109, 2007
ajh
Yeah, I don't get why they did that.
2007-05-01 12136, 2007
Aankhen`` shrugs.
2007-05-01 12103, 2007
ajh
but yeah, a couple 750G drives and I'll be set. :)
2007-05-01 12150, 2007
Aankhen``
Ahh, you and me both.
2007-05-01 12158, 2007

Well, in my case, I'd need about eight.
2007-05-01 12106, 2007

2007-05-01 12149, 2007

Though the 400 discs I'm processing right now are all original presses.
2007-05-01 12123, 2007
ajh
Ripping to lossless sure is faster, seeing 35-40x speeds.
2007-05-01 12135, 2007
BrianFreud
BrianG: yep
2007-05-01 12143, 2007
Aankhen``
ajh: Yeah, much less compression.
2007-05-01 12149, 2007
Aankhen``
= much less work for the CPU.
2007-05-01 12157, 2007
ajh
Not compression per se, less filtering.
2007-05-01 12110, 2007
Aankhen``
Eh, that's right. My bad.
2007-05-01 12130, 2007

"codec" being a rather misleading term in this context, heh.

"this"? "robots"?

itunes, and cd library robots.

2007-05-01 12137, 2007

I don't believe I've ever come across CD library robots.

or the kenwood type 200 disc cartridge changers.
2007-05-01 12144, 2007
Aankhen``
Ooooh.
2007-05-01 12105, 2007
ajh
Yeah, the big ones are really expensive... but I'm sure I could 'demo' one.
2007-05-01 12116, 2007
Aankhen``
So, once again... how many albums would you say your collection will include once the dust has settled?
2007-05-01 12155, 2007
ajh
No idea. I have to re-borrow a bunch of original discs.. my strangeness is that it has a few hundred local/regional bands in there.
2007-05-01 12159, 2007
Aankhen``
Ah.
2007-05-01 12106, 2007
Aankhen``
An estimate?
2007-05-01 12120, 2007
ajh
Probably about 800 discs or so to start.
2007-05-01 12125, 2007
Aankhen``
Oooh.
2007-05-01 12141, 2007
Aankhen``
I never really bought CDs for the longest time.
2007-05-01 12143, 2007
ajh
I'm contemplating ripping lacquer and vinyl too though.
2007-05-01 12156, 2007
ajh
Yeah, 200 of those are bought directly from the band.
2007-05-01 12159, 2007
Aankhen``
I still don't, actually.
2007-05-01 12103, 2007
Aankhen``
Neat.
2007-05-01 12131, 2007

OK, I think 7am-2:40am is a long enough day...

if you make an edit changing the quality setting of something and then make edits to it afterwards, and the quality setting gets approved before them, are those edits immediately bound to the new quality or the original quality?
2007-05-01 12150, 2007
luks
the original
2007-05-01 12157, 2007
Jugdish
ok, good
2007-05-01 12158, 2007
Jugdish
so in other words, all that matter is what the quality setting is at the time of opening a new edit, not at the time of the expiration of the edit?
2007-05-01 12133, 2007
luks
right

question guys: should an "iTunes Exclusive" really be considered an official release for an artist? personally, i tend to think they are more "playlists" than "albums"
