If I have a ton of flac archived but I want to copy the collection to my own streaming service should I convert to mp3 or vorbis? pic semi-related

convert to aac

this, the better mp3

any reason specifically? I don't know much about the different codecs
Owen Clark
assuming you'll be listening to it on your phone, do you have an Android or an iPhone?
Will you be using bluetooth headphones at all?
Noah Bailey
What service are you using? I'd recommend either making 2 directories(flac, and than 256k vbr mp3, for high compatibility) or just keep it all flac and use Plex to transcode on the fly(and set it up to transcode what's best for platform. It's smart enough to know an iPhone or apple tv would use a different codec than a windows 10 PC or android phone)
I say keep flac because in places where there's no limited bandwidth, it'll be good to have full access. Plus HDD space is nothing so why not keep an extra 200gb section of HDD for lossless.

it's better quality and takes up less storage space per file

its an in browser player so I wouldn't be using a phone. I have an android which I could also set up a plex server for I suppose like when I'm traveling. I didn't plan to get rid of the flac files, just to convert and store someplace else for the server.
converting to aac seems like a pain in the ass from the 10 minutes i spent researching.

How could it be harder? It's literally just a different codec.

isnt it closed source? you need to compile ffmpeg yourself or something

You need to compile ffmpeg yourself, if you want the Frauenhofer AAC encoder. ffmpeg has an internal one though. In the past it produced a lower quality output than Frauenhofer's encoder, but ffmpeg devs claim that its quality is now on par.

Vorbis or Opus if your device supports it. MP3 is incredibly inefficient and both Vorbis and Opus are also free and open formats. youtube.com

is it worth it to compile yourself in your opinion?

Just throw it all into Foobar. You need to extract and install coreaudiotoolbox from the iTunes installer, but that's not hard.

Just use libresonic which transcodes on the fly. A modern browser and OS like Win 10 and Edge will just play FLAC natively tho
Ayden Clark
thanks I'll look into that
yes but flac is not ideal for streaming over the internet
>libresonic
basically a better version of my service, i like my design better though lol

opus

Not really. My experience with their internal aac encoder (or aac encoders in general) is limited, but not bad.
General speaking it's a lot of effort to compile ffmpeg with as many codecs as most pre-builds offer.
This is the compilation guide for RedHat/CentOS/Fedora trac.ffmpeg.org

enjoy your depression, inability to focus and absorb information well, etc.
t. I don't have a sleep schedule either ;-;

The latest meme is opus. Though it's not that much better than mp3 which is infinitely more supported.

Miku is CUTE.
