Re: Hard Drive is full - Original Music Files vs. Back-up Files

Upon further consideration, I realize that I may have missed the meaning when this came up originally (I thought I understood this reply from Five, but my ignorance has re-surfaced).
Quote:
summary: I cannot stress the point enough that you should keep your original FLAC/SHN/APE data files due to the extreme difficulty in recovering this data without errors from audio cdr format. For DVDs use the EXTRAS_TS method for best results, then you have a playable DVD with all of the extras right on it without having to burn 2 copies.
The flac and shn files could be saved to dvd as I meant to suggest above. At some point in the future I could reteive these and import them to my hard drive for sharing. Is this acceptable? Was FIVE cautioning me that the WAV files would be introducing a generation (& possible loss) or was I being cautioned NOT to rely on the flac and shn dvd compilations?
