lol FLAC can lick your balls? the only justifiable reason you could possible have to hate FLAC is that it's not universally supported by all music players (software or hardware). as a distribution method, FLAC is the single greatest thing to happen to digital music. it's lossless compression. so your huge wav files can be squashed to probably about half the size, makes it quicker to distribute and is less taxing on your archive device. it takes maybe 3 minutes to decode FLAC files into wavs, if you even have to decode them in the first place. |

thanks for backing me up man. |

no it's not. I love the sound of mp3s. Are you trying to tell me that I'm wrong? I'm not wrong. I don't tell people that they are wrong for listening to noisy vinyl or casettes or enjoying music made with noisy analog synths. SO LET ME ENJOY MY MP3S YOU BUNCH OF SADISTS |

not universally supported = forget it also you have a wav original. leave it as a wav. you are encoding vinyl or cd. keep it wav. wav is better than flac. in 5 years time a wav will not be big, already it is only medium sized. and optimum orig quality. if it aint broke dont try and fix it. |

does wav support metadata |

only analog vinyl/tape can be argued to be better than wav. flac is not BETTER. you can argue it is as good or smaller but who cares. the only question is the minimum qualioty of the wav. 44.1 is just good enough (not really) but we are stuck with it so far. my point is don't needlessly develop standards or encode it further. a custom cd-r still has special useage value. have you not noticed the butterfly effect all around us in this decade, especially recently, music, choice, society, quality... this is the evolution and organisation and hope of the human race we are really talking about. george orwell where r u? |

PS: you can make your own mp3's/flac etc from wavs if u want, fair enuf to like lo bit rate but top quality should not be foresaken. |

FLAC is exactly the same quality as wavs what psychotropic drugs are you on? |

Saying you prefer mp3s strikes me as the same as saying your favorite taste is "the glue on envelopes" (over prime rib, say). There's nothing wrong with that, it's just rarely thought of in its own right and was never intended to be an improvement on anything else. |

STOP HATE CRIMING ME!!!! I LIKE MP3S - LIVE WITH IT |

make your wav's from flac then!? but you won't catch me doin it, and you shouldn't, forget FLAC it's silly cut your vinyl from FLAC hmm 48k much better really, 96k, 192k, 10,000 bit resolution as much as poss... but the day is here finally that wav can and should take over from mp3's ubiquitousness and people can encode from it what they like/as they prefer |

metadata = bothered, just file/name em how ya like |
||||||||

you really are not understanding the point here FLAC is exactly the same as a wav file, it's just a smaller file size. given the choice over spending more time/bandwidth downloading a track, or less time/bandwidth downloading a track, you would choose the longest and most time consuming method? again, just to re-iterate because you really do seem to be having a problem with this fact: FLAC IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS A WAV, JUST SMALLER FILE SIZE |

Hate criming you? Did you even bother to finish reading? I was kind of defending you. |
||||||||

tbh I only read the bit that offended me. thank you for defending me against these brutes. |
||||||||
|

|

it can't be exactly the same then can it!!!!! it's like a zipped file. You can hear the arty-facts. |

can you hear the farty flacs |
||||||||
|
|

why should you care? If you prefer mp3, you should be no stranger to "arty-facts". |

I like this thread. btw diamondtron you got pwnd by oscillik |

a .wav file is a .raw file with metadata |

|
|

| |||||||||
|

you obviously have no idea what the term lossless compression means then. go back to your audiophile MP3s and fairy books and god. oh and the crackpipe you're smoking, because you're talking bollocks |
||||||||

good luck with your warping vinyl and zipped FLACS |

kaara i was right about you liking 8 bit gaba yeah?? so that makes sense now, gaba is like the punk of electronic music |

hanal! sir! i can look after your extensive vinyls collection! all for free too! :D will you sign my remerge? |

I prefer mp3 --alt preset standard -v2 -v4 320 constant bitrate average using ogg compression through flac wavpack variable encoder and lame audio lossless baby. |

hey kaara i'd like to see you trying to play your stupid mp3 files when the millenium bug comes |

I'm going to convert you into an mp3 mate |

i wasnt gonna mention, but being called a snob already i can tell i bought me a new tb harddrive recently :D |

I'd still buy an aphex record if i see a good bargain. |

you got ripped off |

not universally supported? that's a criticism of ms, apple, creative etc, not the codec flac is not BETTER. you can argue it is as good or smaller but who cares. flac is the same quality as wav but smaller, so yes it is better evolution and organisation and hope of the human race not gonna happen m8 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mp3 is better than flac because i can fit 500 mp3s on my mp3 player, but can fit no flacs on it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whoa, nice :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol you can only fit 500 128Kbps MP3s on your MP3 player? what're you using? a fucking Ministry of Sound piece of shit MP3 player? you could store more than 500 MP3s in your crackpipe |
||||||||

vinyl > transfer to c60 > leave tape outside for a month > record to wav |
||||||||
|

|

500 is a lot |
||||||||
|

I actually think flac is pretty much universally supported now, by anyone who owns a computer. It's open source and has compiles in all the major and minor operating systems afterall. I think the bigger media software like itunes/winamp/foobar all support it out of the box too. It isn't like Monkey Audio / APE, which was privately developed and only available for windows (the last time I checked anyway). If you're listening to music on your ipod, then quality probably isn't your biggest concern anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also, if you're talking wavs higher than 44khz/16bit, then these aren't universally supported either. a lot of soundcards and portable players can't do higher than this. |
