My kids laugh at me because I still buy CDs and rip them and some bandcamp. I rip to flac, not for some audiophile reason, but because I can rip a single file for the album with metadata included and space is cheap.
I never have to worry about an internet connection or if an artist drops from a platform.

He moved each into the parent directory when it was complete. And the final command of his project was 'rm -rf . junk'.

- eutropia 3y agoThe final command of his first project, you mean - because surely then he started over?
