Title: Reducing the Size of My Library...
Post by: :MoD:Shade on July 14, 2005, 04:28:37 pm
My music library contains 3800 songs even (right now, will probably increase by the end of the day) and takes up 24.52GB of space.

Is there any way I can decrease the amount of space that these songs take up?

I have the same problem.  I have 3500 songs that take up about 120 GB of space (they are all in full-quality AIFF format, same as a regular store-bought CD).  But I don't want to put them in a lessor quality because I want to archive them in the same format so I can burn them back to full-quality CD's later.  I asked the same thing you did a while back and the best reduction without sound quality loss was using Apple's Lossless Format.  It might not be enough of a reduction for what you are looking for, though.  What format are they in now?

By the way, my solution ended up being to buy a second 250 GB Hard Drive and sticking it in the space provided in the G5 Tower.
