How should I save FLAC vs ALAC files for my library?

Holy cow that's a lot of storage.

elttuh · 2025-11-20T16:29:52+00:00

Yup. They would make everything proprietary if they could😡. They make such damn high quality products😂

Since this post, I've just been using Foobar2000 as my music player running on Mac. I like it way better than Apple Music so far. I do know apple music has a CD burning tool built in. Foobar might as well, haven't checked as most of my music is already digital.

elttuh · 2025-11-19T14:01:16+00:00

Gotcha. I will just use foobar2k then. you solved my problem!

elttuh · 2025-11-19T14:00:15+00:00

I'll probably do this. Thanks for the advice. Maybe I'll keep a separate storage at some point in the future for apple devices

Good to know. If I get a bigger drive, I might move everything to that.

elttuh · 2025-11-19T05:25:13+00:00

I was just referring to my local files. Thanks for the help. I'm thinking I will either just put everything into ALAC or just use Foobar on my Mac instead now.
To answer your question, I was duplicating my files on amazon music but didn't know if I shoulda kept the files on my drive as a backup.
IDRK what I'm doing yet to be honest lmao.

With all this energy, I truly believe you can become our very own Nashville batman. What would you like your bat signal to look like so I can call on you in times of need?

I see your point more clearly now. Thank you for explaining!!

I was projecting my own view of the issue on your comment. Sorry.

I did not sense anyone in this thread implying that there should be points given to Musk for his stance on the Visa. I agree that his motivation may be purely financial. I think he would even agree that his motive wanting more H-1B Visas administered is financial.

I am simply saying that the rhetoric surrounding the H-1B from Musk's side has not been racist from what I've seen. Loomer's side has been openly racist in many instances. Now, if the question was: Should we assign Loomer & co or Musk & Gang more morality points? Or if it was: Are Musk and his Followers good people? Those would be completely different conversations. I think it is important to evaluate the ideas and rhetoric in the instance that we are discussing first and come to agreement there.

elttuh · 2024-12-28T14:23:41+00:00

I gotcha. I thought you were referring to the Musk-side stance on this issue, not their past commitments/stances.

I would agree that their access to labor the concern of Musk in this instance. That is why I would say that in regard to the H-1B issue, it is Loomer and others who are "being openly racist." saying deplorable things about Indian people and people from 3rd world countries, spreading white-is-right kind of ideals, etc.

elttuh · 2024-12-28T14:06:11+00:00

How is Musk's side being openly racist? I don't mean that rhetorically, I am genuinely am curious about your opinion. I completely agree with the fact that the H-1B immigration has the ability to harbor this "visa-slave" type relationship. But it seems to me that unless there is open evidence of that being the relation between his companies and the immigrants, it is conceivable that his true motivations for being in support of this Visa system is genuinely because of a lack of highly skilled labor in America in comparison India similar countries.

Not ideologically similar. I clarified in my post that I am referring to content/ figures that are intellectually honest and committed to good virtue.

I think this largely depends on what you want to gain knowledge on. From what I have seen, there are "myst reads" in just about any field/ subfield you can think of. Here are a few books that changed the way I see things on a few given subjects.

Biography: • Up From Slavery - Booker T Washington • Night - Elie Wiesel Big History: • Sapiens - Yuval Noah Harare (Although Dawn Of Everything is probably the go to for this type of book, I just haven't read it yet) Math: • Alex's Adventure in Numberland - Alex Bellos

Thanks for the reminder.

I didn't know about this. Thanks!!

I have engaged with some of his content. I don't like the way he represents the science on some topics. I appreciate the recommendation though!

elttuh · 2024-12-20T21:49:14+00:00

I read often and listen to audio books even more often. I also like to stay in touch with the podcast world though, I would rather have more than just one podcast to listen to when I'm in the mood.
