I guess i have a question regarding this. This is the first time i have encountered a lossless file. When this is burned and listened to on a proper stereo is the quality really that noticeable? I only have two small computer speakers and i am all out of blank CDs. So this is why i ask. Have any of you that encountered this have any opinions or things to add? Thanks |

I can definately tell the difference between FLAC and 128kbs MP3. I even did a test where I used CDEX to rip mp3 and flac versions of tracks from the same CDs, then reburn them and try to tell a difference. There was a difference. The FLAC copy sounded sharper. |

i'm not sure about the quality after burning, but I'm sure it'll sound fine. they're pretty hefty in size, which tells me that it's chock full of sound info. also: i downloaded these flac versions and compared to the 192kb versions. the flac are quieter, but more pure. the 192 versions had quite a bit of turntable noise in them. so i up'ed the volume of the flac versions with plugins and made 320kb mp3s. see ya on slsk. |

If you've only got little PC speakers you probably can't tell the difference between 256/320 mp3 and flac, but though a hifi I certainly can. If you can't tell the difference between mp3 and wav (lossless pcm) you won't be able to tell any difference between mp3 and flac, since flac is exactly the quality of wav |

Still waiting for my copy of analord, and trying hard not to d/l, although it's oh so tempting... |

I've only downloaded one FLAC file in my life, of a hafler trio track that i forget the name of. You really could tell the difference between flac and 192 quality though, especially on headphones. If the mp3 quality was higher i wouldn't be so sure, i have to really fucking listen for mp3 artifacts above 256. |

My computer speakers are decent at best. When i make music i usually burn a large numbers of CD's so i can hear the sound in different settings and locations. I was unable to burn this as i wasted a huge number of CD's on the music awt and myself just recently finished. |

I did a thread about flac files yesterday, oyu might find answers there too above all regarding the burning them into cdr |

Flac is brilliant. They're the only acceptable format in the live bootleg trading community, as well as shn. |

there's a FLAC plugin for nero . |

i like flac better because it sounds great when you burn it to cdr |

||||||||
|
|

|
|
agreed |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what about if you have very good intentions to buy it one day? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
That too is ok! |

Sweet! |

I guess it's one of those records I'd rather wait for... |

|
what software would you recommend to convert flac to hi-quality mp3s? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A for dbPoweramp (which comes highly recommended by the way). Codecs a-plenty for pretty much everything, in fact. |

Yes, you really can tell the difference, I have them in lossless .ape format, and there's so much more depth and definition, made me realize it just might be worth all the money after all.. Ah, if only I could afford it right now. |

and the analog/vinyl version would be even better than the digital version as well! no 22KHz cut off, dithering or aliasing on those badboys! :) |
