I took the plunge and bought the BluRay/PureAudio version of CSNY 1974. These are concert recordings from the big tour of that year, historically significant musical events. The music is encoded as 192/24 files, no doubt a reflection of Neil Young's current obsessions. I've ripped them from the BluRay at those settings.
Of course, this is 40 years ago, and live recordings. The odds of there being any benefit to the high-res format are very low. The ripped files are stored on my core archive; I'm thinking there is no real reason to put a copy id these huge files where LMS can find them, and am thinking I might down-convert to red book standard for actual playing purposes (I'll keep the high-res version in the archive). Anyone think of any reason I shouldn't do this? R.
