FLAC is CD Quality.

 

[ann post]

FLAC is cool. Better than washy MP3's. Get a converter. Make em into WAV. files

i'd agree - HD's are the size now where you can have 70-80 great albums in flac and hear them properly without worrying about storage.

 

[Wilbert]

Ian, you're sure taking a lot of FLAC over this.





I'm very, very sorry for that joke.

Well I hear canned veg from the north are delicious, cos of the peas process.

 

[rettucs]

seems to be plenty on the web about it. See - http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/906/windows_media_player_play_ogg_flac_files_wmp/


I've been listening to the mp3 version. The quality is excellent.

It pathetic isn't it? If I'm going to download shite off the internet, I want it quickly and I don't want massive files cluttering up my HD... If I want "CD quality" then I'll go get the physical CD.

 

[MilanPan!c]

Not sure you have any idea what yer talking about. This took about 20 mins to download, as it's good it isn't "clutter" and as I have the ability to appreciate the diffenernce between most CDs and MP3s why shouldn't I get what sounds best to me?

So yeah, pretty much wrong on all counts, as everyone has pointed out.

 

[MilanPan!c]

Go fuck yourself

And Ian, learn to take a joke.

smug |sməg|
adjective ( smugger, smuggest)
having or showing an excessive pride in oneself or one's achievements : he was feeling smug after his win.

Flac enthusiasts piss me off with their holier than thou audiophile attitude when they don't even bother their arse to buy a physical copy. I guess thats the diffenernce.

 

[MilanPan!c]

Right, you want me to buy something that doesn't exist OR listen to worse sounding versions of stuff.

And if I or any points out the truth about the relative ACTUAL difference in quality, we're smug and should be told to fuck off.


No, I def see all of that.

 

[rettucs]

That version of the The Queen is Dead is amazing. I'm not even sure if theres that much of a difference between it and the version that made the album (other than the production) but still, its deadly.

 

[Lili Marlene]

I don't understand how people consider themselves audiophiles and accept 'cd quality' FLAC files. I would have thought it would be 45 RPM 12" quality or, second best, Super Audio CD's. How do DVD albums compare to SACD's ? nlgbbbblth ?

I use mp3's myself because I don't care.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

It used to be about the music.

 

[Kermit McDermott]

I don't mind MP3's, as long as they're 320 kbps. Anything lower doesn't really cut it.
