The majority of my source material is: LP, CD, Computer Based, R2R - Page 4

- 1st. Vinyl records, by far.

Nothing beats the nice feel of looking at the very big cover, the shine of the black vinyl, and the fact that you need technical/care skills to extract the best sound of it.

- 2nd CDs.

- A very distant 3rd: MP3. I hate having to backup files. And i'm a software engineer!! LPs on a shelf stay far safer than MP3 files on a hard drive.

Basically i first get the MP3s to see if i like a recording. If it's pre-1990s, i get it on LP. Otherwise i get it on CD.

I have ripped my vinyl, cassettes, R2Rs, CD's, VHS and DVD's

They CD's started out as .WAV's, then progressed to Lame 320 MP3's, and for the last few years, FLAC.

Most of the Vinyl and R2R are captured in Soundforge as 96/24 or 192 raw data.

I will download music, if I like it I go buy the CD or record (if available), rip it, and put the CD in a box in the garage. The vinyl obviously does not go out to the garage, but in a crate in my closet. I take hi-res pictures of the boxes of CD's so I can look and see what's in each box without having to open them.

I have backups of my backups.

RAID 5 array for the primary music server with a complete backup every so often to another machine with lots of space. Also an external 3TB 4 drive JBOD array backup that I use to move everything to the other computer - it sits on a shelf the rest of the time.

I have been collecting and ripping my music and videos forever. If I lost it all I would not (could not) recreate it.

Although my most frequently used source is still an akai RTR.

Have you heard records played on an electricity powered non-windup turntable? Far less effort and therefore more relaxing!

Well, Brianco, this was a cute saying at least!

I cannot decide on this vote.
I am ambiguous one. Or I'm not after all?
Depends on my mood putting the joke aside always, what kind of media I listen to.
