   Just found out VLC can play compressed files. Going through my music and turning them all into .rar files.

     @justnormalkorean if you can compress your media files, something is probably wrong lol

     @justnormalkorean If the media is properly encoded, the lossless compression should have already occurred.
     
     So, if you gain disk space by compressing your media, then it has sub-optimal encoding.

     @hazlin I'm getting a MB or so of downsizing per album so it's more of a nicety I guess.

     @justnormalkorean I mean, if you compare the files, before and after compression. If the file is much smaller, then you gained a lot by compressing it. If it is the same size, there is no point, leave it uncompressed.

     @hazlin I'm just compressing it into .rar files.

     @justnormalkorean ahh, well, if you are getting good compression, then I suppose the technicalities don't matter xD
     
     Practicality before theory, and all that.
