[QUOTE="Katji, post: 705388, member: 17768"] unix/linux file system? ...That would at least reduce the need for the high-end server hardware, sort of. Which is not possible for me, unless I give up sticking to a laptop. (All complicated/complexified by the need to dispose of stuff and move out.) :-\ Anyway, that main line in the script... flac -t is a codec program doing testing? But how does it test without re-encoding from the source WAV files and comparing? (I don't see any source file/dir being specified...?) So I must try audiotester, otherwise just buy dbPoweramp. I just don't have the time now, to start learning linux, for dealing with all that. It is [i]years[/i] - like a few years before linux started happening - that I was even beginning to learn it. But already I'm faced with eventually being forced to Windows 10, and then a couple years later, it'll be Windows 11. S\Well, so far, my music files are less than 50gb, so backups on CD are do-able, but... :-\ the regular backup has to be just what it is, copy to portable HD - to make error-free backups on CD means testing each time, and the possibility of hardware error is there in the process anyway. :-\ I wonder how worthwhile it would be to get ECC RAM for the laptop. ...Maybe I just have to live with it, accept it, if I want to be mobile /movable.
