Thanks a bunch for this video! I have just a whole bunch of CDs that I accumulated from the old days, and I've been meaning to rip them for years now. Those streaming services are for kids. I prefer the old ways 😂
Since i have seen experienced properly archived CD/DVD disks "shedding" the reflective layer after years of storage, i stopped backing up stuff to DVD/CDROM for good. Also make sure that the more important your data/media is, the more backups/versions you should make of it. Since the day will come, where at least one of your backups will fail one day in the future. So having three backups stored at three different locations may save your a_rs_e
Never burn audio CD's faster than 16x. All burners burn CD's the same way up to 16x, above that they use different speeds which in return can produce partialy readable CD's.
Great video. So, you may have said this and I may have missed it, but can't Brasero or other programs just copy the CD to an ISO without the need to convert them to FLAC? Seems like an extra step. Also, I'm pretty sure I was the first person to by a CD-R Drive in my town. I worked at Circuit city and waited for them to come in and I bought the first one we ever sold before the store opened. It was $400, I got it for about $350 with my employee discount, and it was a 2x writer. So about 45 minutes to write a entire disc. And even in the 90's I would order my discs through the mail and I'm pretty sure I could get them for about 50 cents a disc. But yes, in stores they where a few dollars a disc.
Ive been ripping and burning Cd's on linux for years. Got 1500 + Cds..I like Brasero, but I've always gone back to using K3B..Dunno maybe personal preference..I Usually dont bother ripping to Flac due to my old cd players wont play. I find Ogg or MP3 @ 320 my ears can't hear the difference between those and Flac.
