House cleaning
[Now listening to: Leonard Cohen - Tower of Song]
I am getting into severe space problems on my Music HDD. My PowerMac has two 250GB drives and one of them was put to exclusive music duty around nine months ago in order to keep at least one disk somewhat useful.
Well, I am fast approaching the limit of what that drive can hold. I can’t remember the last time I was using a CD in my one CD player (even in the car I am using the iPod), so all of my stuff has been ripped and quite a lot at higher than 128K bitrates.
So now, for the last two days or so I am going through some stuff and downsample it to 128K, mainly stuff where I don’t really care (aka, “boom-boom” music). Takes forever though. Webcasts are downsampled too, simply because they are large and it doesn’t really make a lot of sense to have those at higher bitrates…. So far I was able to reclaim 10GB. Wow, a lot, eh?
Fun for the whole family.
