Hello,
what I mean by that is that whenever I download a song from youtube using yt-dlp and listen to it using mpv it always feels like I am listening to a higher quality version of the music, I don’t know it it’s just me or there is some scientific reason behind it.
As they mature on your disk, the quality slowly increses. Although after a while, videos get overripe and eventually dissolve in a mess of macro blocks. That’s why it’s important to know when to move them to cold storage.
Bit rot is the accepted term I believe.
That’s why it’s so important to always store your backup media inside your refrigerator for ISO certified cold storage.
I don’t know where you’re from, but for the Americans who are confused by the term cold storage, their talking about refrigeration.
