Comment on Plex Users Fear New Feature Will Leak Porn Habits to Their Friends and Family
TK420@lemmy.world 10 months agoCDs are ripped bit for bit into wav files
DVDs have subtitles retained but I don’t compress after MakeMKV.
BDs have subtitles retained but then I run through handbrake and do h265 compression, keep it all as mkv files.

Good stuff!
I see, so you just store the CDs raw? Are you like an audiophile with super equipment and all that? 🙂
And you listen (only?) from Plex on all your devices, or no?

Yeah I store the CDs raw. I have enough storage on my phone that I can load up from PlexAmp. I do a lot of offline listening so I love the download options and I usually stream my whole library from my server over WiFi.
I have a good amount of video downloaded in the main Plex app, workout vids, a few movies and whatever series I’m watching. All works out pretty well.

Okay so wav is mainly convenience for you, not a quality must-have, I take it?
TK420@lemmy.world 9 months ago
No, quality is a thing which is why I’m using wav files. Audio files are tiny compared to video files. I’m approaching 1TB of music, where my video library is much larger, approaching a factor of 10 times as large….and also compressed. I’m not ripping my CD library in its entirety over again. I did various mp3 versions over the years and am done doing that to a different format again.
