![]() For the laptop, Lossless gets converted to Opus, Lossy remains the same, folders get merged. I have separate versions of my music archive on my laptop and on my phone, each of which are complete. foobar2000 and any other players syndicate their library from both folders. My archive structure is this: At the top, there is one folder "Lossless", one folder "Lossy", each with subfolders for artist and album. Encoding is done in foobar2000, copy everything into a playlist, right click -> encode. 72 kbit is too little sometimes, 80 is fine, 96 is safe. I'm using 72-96 kbit/s as bitrates, I've been playing around with that actually. There is an ARM-optimized version of libopus that seems to use vector operations, I don't think it gets much better than that. No significant battery hit, I really don't care. Yes it is when there is no fair use involved, and there is no fair use claim just because bittorrent sends stuff in pieces. "that proving a single or small number of pieces were transmitted between parties is not ipso facto evidence of infringement" There has been litigation on copyright infringement via bittorrent for about a decade now, if this line of reasoning stood any chance, wouldn't you think it had been used by now? ![]() No (reasonable) argument can be made otherwise. The criteria for fair use are wholly orthogonal to the concept of 'cutting up' a work as it is done in a bittorrent transfer. No you didn't, you made some connection between 'the bittorrent technology, which sends pieces of data, and fair use of parts of works'. "I said that there are fair uses that involve sending parts of a work" Yeah sure, good luck going on the record saying that and not (justifiably!) be classified as a nazi sympathizer. Of course I'm no nazi, I'm just saying that they could be made'. Here's a Godwin'ing analogy for good measure: 'arguments could be made that the Holocaust was justified. How is that not 'sending part of a work makes it fair use' ? Yes yes you're using 'argument could be made' weasel words, but that doesn't mean you're not saying it. "There can certainly be fair use arguments made for transmitting torrent piece sized copies of protected works." Look man, like my nan used to say - 'when you're in a hole, stop digging'.
