Converting to Flac needn't be particularly onerous. If you are ripping from CD doing the Flac encode at that point may only add seconds to the rip process if you set up the ripper to do it for you.
Transcoding already existing WAV files, I believe that a number of tools will batch up files so you could just set it going at night and come back the next morning with about 30-50 percent more disk space. Disks might be, relatively, cheap and RAID/Backups are good but the more disks you have the more complicated things become. In my opinion storing as Flac rather than WAV has advantages, tagging, size, in-built error checking, and preferred. -- Zaragon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Zaragon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14577 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44988 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
