My second day of ripping my #CD collection to FLAC and making sure I get all metadata right.
One of the things I *didn't* rip was a Finnish box set of 5 CDs... from 1989. It's in Discogs, but there's not a whiff of it in MusicBrainz. I may need to learn how to submit this stuff after all.
Today I started the biggish job of ripping all of my #music CDs to #FLAC format.
My previous ripping style: I ripped the music to Ogg Vorbis or something as I went. No real concern for metadata accuracy and stuff.
Anyway, now, the idea is to rip the CDs to FLAC (which can then be converted to whatever I need with no compounding quality loss), making sure all files get the actual real #MusicBrainz release data (and not just "close enough" matches). I guess I should also archive the Enhanced CD content.
So far it's going great! 28 CDs down, and only 2 have had MusicBrainz problems (one missing album cover art, one seemingly entirely missing release of an album that does exist in the database). ...I get the vague feeling that the missing album art was missing last time when I was ripping this stuff. Should fix that.
Don't mind the music selection in the screenie, this was just random stuff from the shelf.
All in a day's work for #archival #superheroes :
> What the data is that data?
> If only I had #METADATA ! 😁 🍰
After screenshotting, archiving & keeping metadata on my curated Palm OS apps project, I'm giving #WindowsMobile #PocketPC some love with its first 10 games I added on my list (not all of them shown in the screenshots).

Old band Web sites: a trip down memory lane.
@polpo Same, but I guess you'd not have started the #PicoGUS project (nor would've @rasteri done the #Wee86 & #WeeCee) if that was always the option.
In this excerpt from our podcast, Grammy-winning mastering engineer Michael Graves describes repairing what sounded like a tape crinkle on Chris Bell's "I Am the Cosmos," only to learn it was a splice made by Beatles producer Geoff Emerick.

#SignalGroup for preserving the #Myrient #ROM database using #BitTorrent
Myrient is a huge collection of retro games and a very nice project. But as they are based on centralized cloud storage, the immense costs were not sustainable. By building a community of people who seed the files for free, the project can stay alive!
