For those storing their music in FLAC, what level of compression do you use? Does it Matter? I had no idea there was any choice until I started playing with Media Monkey.
I use the default -5 compression. From what I’ve read higher compression rates take longer to encode and yield diminishing returns in terms of smaller compressed files size. Besides taking longer higher compression rates are suppose to be more labour intensive to decode and can cause playback issues on some portable players.
Fred, have you purchased the full version of Media Monkey? I’m using the free version right now but haven’t decided if I want to commit to the “Monkey” or not. I’ve already committed to storing all my CD rips as FLAC but still not sure what management software I’m going to use.
