all music encoded in lossy formats such as mp3 before 2009 has degraded into a virtually unlistenable state
for each year the MP3 sits on your hard drive, it will lose roughly 12kbps, assuming you have SATA - it's about 4kbps on SSDs, due to rotational velocidensity.
always encode your music in lossless formats like FLAC only download FLAC music dont listen to streams that dont deliver FLAC they will lose their quality
NGL this kinda sounds bullshit, unless you're reencoding or compressing the file over and over I don't think magnetic orientation errors or general entropy leads to that much degradation. At worst a few bits get flipped and a CRC fails or something. But also in the process of typing this I realized this might just be a bit and I'm making this comment for nothing idk. :shrug-outta-hecks:
Yeah regardless of the hardware side, lossy vs lossless compression has nothing to do with losing data over time, even if you use lossless very high quality encoding if the data's getting corrupted it doesn't matter if it wasn't compressed, you're losing the data.

Heard this can also vary depending on whether your SATA is 1.5/3/6 Gbits/sec as well as the age of the drive (platter spin speed and whatnot) - in general I recommend just keeping the "two in the bush one in the air" adage in mind. personally I like to have physical music, and then FLAC copies on my personal PC & mirrored onto my NAS!
Frank record data. Frank use stone tablet. Stone tablet not degrade on human time scale. Stone tablet not ideal from data density perspective. Stone tablet have long read and write times. Stone tablet cause silicosis of the lungs during write process.
another fun fact

Oh shit. All of my band’s music from school is gone now then rip
the message you responded to was bullshit

Godspeed! :rat-salute:

:downbear: no it isn’t, stop making shit up.
