> Conversion also costs energy. Save more energy by not listening to podcasts. Yea, no .. people should have fun and do the things they want. But being needlessly wasteful while doing them is just asocial because in the end it hurts the whole ecosphere. I want to store the podcasts I listen to so I do. But I do it in a way that doesn't need TBs of disk space. Besides, the conversion is only necessary because the content is delivered in utterly over the top bitrate. And also, once I've converted a file to lower bitrate, from then on every time I do something with it (play, copy, ...) it will consume less energy than doing the same thing with the large original file.
