when I compare an mp3 file to a flac file, the flac sounds better. theoretical maximum mp3 bitrate isn’t what I experience.

sorry about the 2tb miscommunication. 100% my bad.

even if 2tb is too much, it is expandable, and the one you posted isn’t. personally I have a few hundred gb. some people do listen to more music.

I dont don’t think its worth $250 but its a cool project to be excited about.

for me, open source is mostly philosophical. that won’t mean enough to everyone. I also expect better long term support from an open source project.
