My package is from tumbleweed, so my purpose in posting here is two-fold: is this the way its setup in the latest opensuse package?

Does anyone eve use this anymore? (sigh).... tnx...
I just tried on 15.1, and they don't conflict (neither is installed).
I think I once converted my collection or part of it to flac, but as none of my hardware players take it, I deleted the files and took the mp3 files only.
I can use it on my computer, certainly, but what's the point of a lossless perfect codec, if the room is noisy, and my speakers are not that good?
I'm using lossless codecs for spacesavings on longterm (master) backups. For CD-rips / Vinyl-rips / Studio-Tape-rips they get encoded via flac, just to make sure I can make small, lossy converts in the future for my mobile devices without loosing the the high quality source. There may come something better and/or free-to-use than aac or mp3. On the mobiles of today, anything better than 16bit HW is expensive. Maybe in the future the standard will be rise to 20bit or more. Doing a high quality 24bit dynamic range / 192kHz samplerate rip of a vinyl stereo or a multi-channel studio-tape is ~Expensive~, both in time and money for the equipment. Storing such a rip as WAV or RIFF is kind of stupid in terms of space used. So, flac[1] is the way to go. * up to 24bit dynamic range * up to 655kHz samplerate * up to 8 channels * free-to-use * Metadata support [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLAC - Yamaban -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
