i just read on the internet, that the compression of mp3 by
cutting from audio information can harm our ears...

well harmful compression (cant understand that.. . link link

your ears would love to listen to one of those round spinny
discs once in awhile. ..

i want to know if this is the same when you convert mp3 to
wave and burn it on cd...

well the converting mp3 to wav wouldnt fix all the problems
mp3 compression created.. . harmful I doubt it.. . but
quality is a different matter entirely. ..

"harmful" that sounds like your ears would explode or
something. through cutting from audio sounds that you don't
pay attention to, the mp3 standard is flattening audio. they
say that after listening to mp3 to much, you could for
example don't hear a car on a noisy street...

ah hararr.. . nah.. . I dont believe that at all.. .
flattening audio can not harm your hearing.. . if
frequencies were boosted then yes Id believe that it was
possible. ..

Get ready, next thing you'll read is:

"Mp3's will make you look fat in that dress"

To target at the ever growing teenage girls who are
downloading mainstream mp3s!

i see what the article is saying (i think). For example
human eyes can see most shades of green, because green is
the most abundant colour on Earth. The eyes experienced the
green most, so they could adapt to it and improve
recognition of different shades better.
Now for the ears, if they were fed with audio, which was
only between 20Hz-20KHz, then low frequency/hi frequency
would be heard less often and hearing would evolve so that
you distinguised the sounds you heard more often, than the
sounds you hear less often, so the sounds you dont hear as
much would not be as distinguishable. Do you think so?

just because you don't hear all sounds your ears can pick up
at once all the time doesn't mean it makes you less aware of
them... I think the opposite is true

Points: 865 Status: Lurker



I don't believe in this. For one, humas can't hear sounds
below 20 hz or sounds over 20 khz in frequency so what's the
harm in cutting them out? I tested my own hearing and I
can't hear anything above ~17.5khz. Light is also a
waveform, and humans can't see ultra violet light, nor
infrared and UV is just a good thing for your eyes to cut
out.

I'm going to see about this here Vorbis. I like the fact
that it's completely open source with no patent bullshit.

Is there an FAQ somewhere on how to get the highest audio
quality? Like, if you encode MP3s with Lame there are great
high quality presets...

yes and the computer you are sitting in front of will give
you cancer, as will the tv screens you watch, the phones you
talk into will give you tumors, the microwave ovens radiate
turds that make your stomach turn green, and the meat you
consume has harmful chemicals.

so dont eat meat! as for the rest...sucks to be us!

I'm buying the fastest PC I can get in 2003 because
apparently the new version of Windows is gonna hit in 2004.


Its filesystem will be a proprietary encrypted database (no
more dual booting and reading your fat32 or ntfs drives from
Linux). It will have DRM features that work with DRM
(digital rights management) built into the hardware to
enforce total control. "Yes ma'am, these new handcuffs and
leg irons will keep you safe from all hackers and viruses!"

It will become impossible to copy or view anything without
paying a fee. Pay per use will become a reality. Everytime
someone listens to Britney Spears, cha-ching. Want to write
your own music? You better be a "licensed musician".

Anyone who attempts to install Linux on DRM hardware WILL BE
SHOT.

No man will be able to buy or sell without a mark on his
hand or forehead.

And the sun was a tiny red ball, like the wildly spinning
eye of a cow whose head has been kept alive in a laboratory
dish.
