but when it comes to Opus as a general rule for me. hell, even 32kbps and 48kbps are respectable considering the really low bit rate. but with Opus format, which is better than AAC (more specifically AAC-LC which is standard for a long time now) at lower bit rates like say around 96kbps and less (I find 64kbps with Opus quite usable). I suggest 96kbps or 128kbps (I consider 96kbps to be the sweet spot) as those are basically the sweet spot of Opus/AAC. 96kbps/128kbps/160kbps is about all anyone would need for lossy music (with Opus or AAC(Apple)) unless they are pretty paranoid etc. I would avoid MP3 because it takes noticeably more bit rate to achieve the same sound quality. even 96kbps is solid to where many won't notice it.

Opus and AAC (Apple) has strong sound quality 128kbps.

Opus/AAC etc) when needed as it's really quick to convert from FLAC to Opus/AAC etc with Foobar2000's 'convert' option as it takes about 1 minute tops (likely less for modern CPU's (probably more like around 30seconds give or take)) for a full 80min music CD.Īlso, as far as lossy music files. then using those FLAC files you can make your own lossy files (i.e. so basically there is no point in using WAV over FLAC since FLAC is the same but takes up about half of the storage space. WAV format) with identical quality since it's lossless. rip them to FLAC format which is lossless and it will take up about half of the storage space as the actual CD does (in uncompressed.

I am confident most people would not be able to tell the difference between a 128kbps Opus/Apple AAC file and the original lossless file when doing a ABX test as even 96kbps is pushing it already given what I have seen the developer of the Opus codec say recently on hydrogenaudio forums.īasically if you got actual music CD's and want perfect copies of your music data. If you ABX yourself (basically a blind test with lossless vs lossy audio file in Foobar2000) I think you will be surprised you can't hear the difference as much as you think you can between the lossless file and lossy file. I'm just looking for feedback from the knowledgeable people on here. This idea is just in the early stages for me and could easily get benched. My wife may wish to watch things on her iPad if that's even possible but i'd only be interested in watching movies on a proper TV.

No ripping software as yet.Īs far as the movies goes, I would only be watching them on the TV in the living room (which is connected to the router via cat6 cable).

I have a Windows 7 64bit PC with 2 drives, 1 being a blu ray drive & the other a standard DVD drive. I'm ok with shelling out an initial cost but not an ongoing cost. I've read about possibilities of being able to access what is stored to this while you're away from your home, so i guess that must need to be connected to the router, although if that requires an ongoing subscription then that's a no-no for me.

Can the average person hear the difference between 192 & 256 for example? I can once you start dropping down to 128 tbh. Not quite sure what bitrate i'd need to rip at to avoid loss. I'm not sure how many DVDs i have but i'm guessing it'll be in the 200-300 region and that's after getting rid of a load i wont watch again.Īnd then there's my music collection. I would also at the very least want to retain the option of subtitles (preferably the entire menu system including extras - so it'd be like having the disc, just on some sort of digital media). What i would want to do if i did back up digitally is back up the discs with NO LOSS of picture/sound quality whatsoever.

Not to try make profit out of the discs as i don't think i'd let them go tbh. I've wondered recently about storing this stuff digitally. I've had to do the same with my albums also. It got to the stage where i had to get one of those 200 disc wallet things as the cases were taking up so much room.

After briefly reading about this recently i've a feeling it'll be more suited to this forum rather than the hardware forum although if a mod disagrees then feel free to move it.īasically i have a lot of DVDs and a few blu ray discs.
