Need A Bit Of Advice.


EXTREEEEEME!!!

264 views

Okay, so, I'm looking to back up my music onto an online hosting website. Most of my music is .FLAC, and I'd like to know what is the best way to compress these into single archives.

 

Like, an archive for each album, you see. The smallest size possible.

 

I already have the correct programs, I just have no clue which OPTIONS I should choose. Most of my archives are... 99% the size of the original. It doesn't even register. That is not good.

Well, there are always limits to how much you can compress files. You aren't going to magically get a 50% compressed file, unfortunately. I might suggest putting it in a .rar or possibly a .7z (using the program 7Zip). You won't get very low with the compression ratio, but I believe those are the most efficient algorithms to try.

I've never heard anything about that, I've transfered FLACs via rar files between my computers before. FLACs aren't a file type with tons of special properties, they're just a music file with no compression into mp3 or similar. They work like any other file in regards to copying and zip/rar/7z'ing them, to my knowledge.
