RE: MP3 Backup

["Sullivan, Glenn" <gsullivan@xxxxxxx>]

I have found that a full length CD takes between 200 and 250 mb.

So between 400 and 500 CD's per 100 GB drive...

Glen,
how much space would take an average song in loseless format (e.g.
FLAC).
Cheers,
Nik

  I realized when I didn't get a copy of my message below that I had
sent it
  directly to Ian...

  Just didn't want you guys to think I was an ignoramus who couldn't
take a
  little heat. ;-)

  Touche... All very valid points.

  I guess right now, while I have the space, it hasn't been an
issue.  I may
  find myself eating my hat in a year or so when I run out of space as
well.

  As long as we don't get into a bit holy war, it's all fine with
me... ;-)

  The Music collection I have here in MP3 format would take about
2.6
  Terabytes raw, and would (to my ears) sound no better.

  I would ask the question the other way round to be honest...

  Why, in this age when we understand just how limited the range
of
  hearing is
  that humans possess, as we condiering using even more data bits
(SACD,
  DVDA
  et al) to "reproduce" a sound that existed nowehere except
in an
  engineer's
  desk anyway?

  As always, if you believe you have ears more sensitive than a bat,
you
  should spend the cash you feel comfortable with!!

  Ian.
