  1. Originally posted by LikeASong:FLAC increases around a x4.5 factor in size with respect to a 192kbps MP3. A normal 4 minutes song is around 6 MB on mp3@192, and around 25-30 MB on FLAC, so... Your current 14 GB collection would be around 65 GB.

    You can also do it measuring the normal CD size when ripped to FLAC (around 400-500 MB) and multiplying that for the number of CDs you want to rip:
    450MB · 180 CDs =~ 80 GB.


    Going by that calculation, one song would take up 180MB. I'll wait 'til I get a bigger drive then.


  2. What? No! A normal 14-songs CD uses to be around 400 MB, that means 400/14 ~ 28 MB per song (approx). Where did you take the 180 MB figure from?


  3. u can get 1TB exteral drives for about 70 odd bucks now, 2TB for $128
  4. Found 2TB internal for €85 euros

    Rockbox and Gingerbread beta's for N900, amazing how a 'dead' device is carried by the community. Finally gapless playback! EQ, compressor, stereo width, pitch, timestretching + lots more of DSP possibilities Using them a lot will probably kill the batery

    If the song is 24 minutes long and as part of the CD (the full 400MB) then it's going to take up 160 - 180MB for that one song.

    They're just so cheap now. Rockbox is awesome too - I used to use it.

    Officeworks had one for 75 and Dick Smith's for about 79. Not bad.


    Each CD will be 700mb MAX drew so you can do the matys there and work out the most it will take from that. Most are 4-500 though.

    250 - 500 for most that I've got. So maybe 50GB space at a rough count.

  6. Aha, that's right. 24 minutes songs do not appear on my book anyway


  7. You don't have any songs that go for that length? No Pink Floyd?

    Anyway I'm getting rid of the ones I don't want anymore. Mostly hits collections and indie crap that I've acquired but no interest in keeping,
  8. Yes, you're right. From what I can remebmer, Echoes clocks near 21 or 22 minutes, and so does Atom Heart Mother... All parts of Crazy Diamond should be around the 20 mark too. But anyway, I wouldn't even consider the option to rip that into FLAC: 160 MB is almost the 10% of my mobile phone's SD card capacity!!! haha

    Crazy Diamond I - IX is 26 minutes, Echoes is 23 and Atom Heart Mother I'm not sure on. I'll be ripping those into FLAC first. Thanks for the help all!

    A new external drive is being ordered next week. Plus my remixes are getting way too big as well.
  10. Dying for a firmware update for the N8. Can still just about manage some decent looking homescreens. Not as good as Android on that front though.

  11. Arent there apps that can change the widgets background opacity? If there was no background (fully transparent) it would look better.

    I never use my homescreens though.

    I quite like the tiles for some reason. An alternative theme will give transparency if wanted. I just hope Nokia can give the hardware some software to do it justice. PR1.2 is imminent but PR2.0 should bring quite an overhaul.
