I hope not.
My record collection went from 80 kilos (175 lbs) to 1 gram when I switched to mp3, and that is fine with me.
I love mp3.

ditto, there's nothing like having your entire music collection in your fingertips, and to be able to listen to anything you want on a whim.

A .flac or a .wav file doesn't weigh any more than an .mp3 file nor do they prevent you from having access to your entire music collection.
They just use more digital storage .... a negligible amount more by today's standards.

We pretty much wrong unless you're carrying around spare drives ... I was implying carrying them on your portable mp3 players or ipods etc. which would NOT hold my entire collection as flac or wave ... not to mention, when most of us saved our collection from years ago, it was even more of a space issue then.

This would give you 393 lossless CD quality albums on a portable music player. Probably more than 393 since many albums are less than 650 MB.

I pulled some cassettes out recently - to put on CD. All 3 of my tape decks were worthless. Bought a used one. Half way through the upload it ate my tape.
Cassettes suck!

Exactly what I've done. No need for iPod anymore either. I have about 500 albums on my 256GB SanDisk memory card and room for 60GB more. And you can get them for pretty cheap nowadays. Got mine for £50.

I have a built-in 32 GB storage card in my Samsung where I can store the wav-file albums I need. That's more than enough for me, with Spotify in addition to that.
BTW, which format is the «extreme quality» on Spotify? Sounds like they went over to wav..

From Spotify:
"Spotify uses 3 quality ratings for streaming, all in the Ogg Vorbis format.
~96 kbps
Normal quality on mobile.
~160 kbps
Desktop and web player standard quality.
High quality on mobile.
~320 kbps (only available to Premium subscribers)
Desktop high quality.
Extreme quality on mobile."
Ogg Vorbis an open-source encoding program. But Spotify has also been cagey in the past about always using the simplest codec available for each platform they deliver to.

Note: I am NOT all that tech savvy when it comes to computer editing, etc. But I know that many of you are. Soooo...
Could someone recommend a free app or shareware or even a website that is safe & trustworthy that I can install on my home pc which will allow me to break up large mp3 files into smaller files? Or tell me something that might have come with my pc (Toshiba laptop apx 3-4 yrs old running some form of windows) that may be already installed that I can look for.
Over the years I've downloaded many "full album" or "full show" audio files and, while it's fun to listen to a complete album or show, I would also like to be able to listen to individual songs as well.
Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide!
Peace,
Mr DJA
