« Last post by Simon on Nov 30, 2019, 14:29:02 »When I'm converting between music file formats or simply making a backup of my ripped music collection the time left usually starts in hours and increases to days as the process progresses. I imagine the algorithm employed adjusts by time taken rather than relying entirely on time left to go.
If it's any consolation it now takes me well over a week to backup my music library and convert all my files to Apple's ALAC file format. In fact I'm starting to consider swapping my iPhone to an Android based device just to avoid the conversion.
Just curious, but that reads as though you keep having to convert your music files to ALAC. Surely, once they're converted, they're converted?
I have approximately 500Gb of music files, which I tend to backup fully about once every three months but in between will do weekly incremental backups. The full backup takes round about 11 hours with Acronis. I have nowhere near got round to converting all my CDs to digital format. I don't actually intend to do so, because I don't listen to half of them anyway.
