I began converting my CD's to FLAC today for use in a forthcoming project...there really in a very definite difference between FLAC and MP3, so I will now have to get FLACING everything instead of MP3. |
||||||||

|
|
FLACING HELL! |
||||||||
|

you have way too much spare time/hd-space but yeah, you're right ... as usual |
||||||||
|
|

i hope you are using eac |

I've just bought 4 400GB SATA 150 drives for £250 :D Lots of room to store whatever. |

:O !!!! |

jesus wept! :( |

whoah! (that project you were talking about.. is it a project we will see the results of?) |
||||||||
|
|

Me too. |

I doubt you will ever tell the difference between flac and lame --alt-preset extreme. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
belive me, there is a difference |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but as i think you've mentioned before, it does have the advantage of any forwards compatability issues |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
True, I would trust flac for archival purposes not mp3. |
||||||||
|
|

I'm ripping the Jeck & Schaefer Songs for Europe to both formats so I'll test that. |

FLAC YOU ALL TO HELL |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Oh shit, what a difference. The flac has much more space and detail. It's like the mp3 collapsed the stereo separation and blurred the details. Little things that are obvious in the flac, I have to strive to make out in the mp3. And this was alt preset extreme. I'm sold. |
||||||||

|
|
how's it compared to vinyl? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Same as CD compared to vinyl I guess. It's a lossless compression scheme so if you rip the CD on a good CD drive with EAC and encode to flac it should be identical. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok. I guess i'll still stick to the vinyl then... however it'd be nice to have those impossible-to-get albums in flacs... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also ive noticed, mp3 is a bit louder for some reason and distorts a little |
||||||||
|

i rip my cds in flac now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I haven't noticed a difference in volume but if the mp3 is dropping details it could be acting similar to a "soft" waveshaping distortion. Straightening the curves, flattening the hills, beats all you never saw been in trouble with the law since the day they was born. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's just about right. the mp3 compression algorhythm tends to make its own way the only way it knows how |
||||||||
|

dammit! of course there's a difference! mp3 = lossy format flac = lossless this message board sure looks weird in the amiga voyager browser. blah blah blah. |

nesbits way! |

flac me in the ass |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
flac is noticably better for archiving cds, but it's impractical to share. sorry for being obvious, i'm drunk. flac rules. |

i've ripped a lot of my CDs in mp3 256kbps so that i can listen to them on my laptop during the holiday ; i would have FLAC them if i had enough space but it wasn't possible nevertheless i can't really tell the difference between FLAC and mp3 256 _ in fact i prefer listening to FLAC but can't say why ; maybe it's in my subconscient mind |
