I have a folder of MP3s, some of which date back to 1999, just a few years after the format was popularised. Most of them have utterly terrible names (think RIDEONAM.MP3). I think at this point they might even survive the heat death of the universe. And they’ll still be terribly-organised.
File format has nothing to do with proper sorting. I’ve got 350k songs properly organized by artist, album, etc, but mp3. I’ve no need for flac.
Correct, it doesn’t.
Main difference to mp3 is that flac is “lossless” so the audio quality is a bit better, but it requires more space (though still pretty insignificant compared to video).
I know the difference, but it’s irrelevant to organization.
There is a connection between flac and organization since flacs are a thing for audio nerds and they tend to be tidy :)
Right, I never said that it was?
I just found it much easier to just download and replace my library with files that are already sorted instead of sorting it myself. And when you’re replacing them you might as well upgrade the quality.
Bold portion above insinuates they have to be flac format. But same is true for mp3, ogg, wav, etc.
I don’t think it insinuates that. I’m just describing what I did to my library.
When I say that I replaced bag full of apples with a neatly stacked box of pears that doesn’t insinuate that only pears can be stacked.
