9. Archiving Best Practices
- Keep original FLACs untouched – no tag editing that rewrites files (use external metadata).
- Store on two drives + cloud backup.
- Verify integrity once a year with
flac -t(Windows/Mac/Linux). - Convert to WAVPACK (.wv) if you want slightly better compression, but FLAC is standard.
- A high-resolution digital remaster derived from original analog master tapes or from high-resolution digital masters.
- Packaged as downloadable FLAC files (sometimes offered via online high‑res music stores) or as part of an audiophile reissue.
- May include updated mastering choices (different EQ, dynamic range, or louder mastering depending on engineer/label choices).
