Fellow forum member,
A couple of days ago Sendspace sent me a message saying that I've gone overboard with the amount of files I've uploaded - apparently it was around 14GB - and that I need to cut the size down. I've reviewed my cache of files and located 2 sources of problems:
1. I used to put theme songs into an OST archive (RAR) and then upload those songs on their own - duplication;
2. I have a number of PVs with very large sizes - sometimes a PV is larger than the OST of the drama it comes from.
To stay on the good side of Sendspace I'm cleaning up and re-uploading OSTs that previously have duplicate items in them. At the same time I've deleted nearly all PVs from my collection. As soon as all the changes are done I've send Shindou a new list to put on his journal.
Since the number of OSTs and themes songs in my archive will continue to grow as long as the Japanese continues to make doramas, this problem will hit me again some time in the future. One way round it is to decrease the size of individual MP3 files by ripping at a lower bit rate - currently I use 320kbps. Can you guys/gals suggest an acceptable alternative? From 128 to 256?
Sorry for the inconvenience. If anyone wants PVs I'll try to upload them on request, but it will obviously take longer for me to respond.
Thanks again to Shindou for pinning up my collection.
