How do you guys store your lossless files? I have just been experimenting using some things that I have available to me now. So I ripped a couple CD's using Apple Lossless and my itunes library. I did expect the file sizes to be larger. They turned out to be about 7x the size of the compressed files.
I suppose I could store files on an external hard drive. I have one attached to my Macbook now.
It almost begs a dedicated drive or maybe SD cards if they work OK for this purpose. The files take up so much space at 7x that I almost don't want to use any kind of drive or disk that I am using for any other purpose.
Anyway, what do people tend to do here to store these lossless audio files? Just to cover the possible question, I really do not play music from my computer. I am using an Itouch or an Ipod and now have a CLAS as well and they become the devices that I play from since these are portable solutions for me. So it is purely an issue of storing the lossless files and not an issue of playing them from the computer. When I did a search just now looking for an answer without posting a question the responses were all about playing music from the stored files on the computer.
They are so large or will be so large with any sort of a library that I just think it best to keep it segregated somehow.
