Comment on Spotify vs. Anna's Archive
thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoThey definitely don’t see paid accounts using too much. My library is mostly built from Spotify rips using onthespot. 400k songs.
Everything is broken now and a few patches are up, waiting for it to update and keep ripping.

I try to keep lossless on my server for the fact that new algorithms come out all the time. I don’t want to be stuck with a 160k mp3 when a better algorithm comes out or if I need to stream just a little lower than that. I’d rather have lossless quality that can be converted at any time to whatever I need, even though I mostly have it set to 160k for listening if I’m streaming away from home. My work internet and cell service can get really terrible, and being able to buffer 10 songs when I get a few minutes of service is a godsend while not getting stuck with low quality, several times converted files, or keeping multiple bitrate versions of the same song.
