FLAC uses lossless compression, while MP3 is 'lossy'. What this means is that for each year the MP3 sits on your hard drive, it will lose roughly 12kbps, assuming you have SATA - it's about 15kbps on IDE, but only 7kbps on SCSI, due to rotational velocidensity. You don't want to know how much worse it is on CD-ROM or other optical media.
I started collecting MP3s since 2016 (10 years ago), and if I try to play any of the tracks I downloaded back then, even the stuff I grabbed at 320kbps, they just sound like crap. The bass is terrible, the midrange…well don't get me started. Some of those albums have degraded down to 32 or even 16kbps. FLAC rips from the same period still sound great, even if they weren't stored correctly, in a cool, dry place. Seriously, stick to FLAC, you may not be able to hear the difference now, but in a year or two, you'll be glad you did.

but again, i used to think that cs go skins would become more and more battle scarred if u used them in game

>>35237>>35238Ok laugh all you want but many digital archives have been unknowingly raped by this. It's best to store all your mp3s in a HDD near a shady dry place otherwise rotational velocidensity might destroy the files.

this doesnt make any sense.
shouldnt the same physical mechanism that makes mp3s bad make flac files bad too? its a disc issue, not codec right?
are you sure the mp3s from 10 years ago werent just recorded on shitter mics or something

this makes sense.

>>35255Lossless vs lossy are determined at encode time.
If data loss is attributable to PHYSICAL degredation - bit flips on the disc - then it would affect every file equally. Electromagnetic forces don't "choose" files ending in .mp3
Don't just repeat yourself, explain where might I be misunderstanding

>>35258The degradation of mp3 files has nothing to do with electromagnetic forces, it's the result of rotational velocidensity which doesn't affect FLAC files.

>>35236 (OP)wait what mp3s can degradebecause of physical media???

>>35267Just like how VHS tapes can mould since they have organic matter (from squashed bugs)

are you retarded?
lossy/lossless is compression, it doesnt mean anything about its file size if you dont interact with it

Use .m4a for everything audio if you're not an audio professional/serial archiver, btw.

>>35535marge doesnt opus work if you bundle it with .mp4 instead of .mkv?
