  • Freed At Last From Patents, Does Anyone Still Care About MP3?

  • I've never had access to any tube equipment. I did listen to lossy audio from a late '80s Technics reciever which had a similar effect to what you describe. It made the music much more berable to listen to. I do most of my music consumption on my PC now. I do love the mixes used for vinyl records however, It makes me sad they're not available digitally. Most modern music is brickwalled sadly. I'll buy a few records now and again because of the dynamic sound. Sorry for the rant but I love dynamic recordings and I'm sad they're a rarity now outside of expensive vinyl records.

    Edit: I just noticed your username. I love it.

  • Mp3's just don't sound good to me. It's a very old format that was pretty much the first of it's kind. Audio compression (while I don't like it) has improved greatly over the years. I saw another user bring up OGG OPUS and it's really impressive what it can do. I was able to compress a song to fit on a floppy disk while still being listenable. It kind of sucks that formats like mp3 and jpg are the standard when open formats that are major improvements over older formats fail to recieve significant adoption. AAC 320 is the 60/90 difference to me. I was shocked how close a 320 kbps m4a file is to CD quality flac.

  • I don't think you can make .iso's of Audio CD's. .bin and .cue files are the standard I think.

  • It's just one of those things where once you hear the difference you can't go back. It's sort of the difference between a 360p vs 1440p youtube video. The compression artifacts make the music sound so artifical to me. I don't really know how to describe it. But yes, there is a considerable increase in file size. For me it's a non issue because I have my music collection on an 8tb hdd. Though I wish phones still had micro sd slots so I could take them with me. My music collection is at 1.2 tb I think. I'm not trying to be an elitist asshole here. I'm just sharing my experience.

  • Very big difference in quality between mp3 and flac. My advice is if you're going to do it, do it right the first time. Flac is for sure the way to go. You can always make mp3s from those flacs. Ripping CD's take alot longer then converting files. fre:ac is a great CD ripping application. It's similar to Exact Audio Copy but easier to use.

  • Mp3 has been dead to me for nearly a decade. Flac is superior in every way.

  • They don't care about home users buying licenses. That's probably less than 1% of license sales. As long as businesses are buying it they're happy. You can activate Windows with a github script. Microsoft would have fixed that vulnerability if they really cared.

  • I wish Debian's installer didn't suck. I want to be able to use btrfs without manually partitioning. I know how to manually partition in Calamarus or whatever it's called but Debian's installer confused the shit out of me. Void Linux also had a more straightforward installer. Aside from that, Debian is great.

  • Why do they care? Don't they want the tiny market share of Windows 11 to go up?

  • If they offered a service like GOG for movies I think it would be worth it. I don't have much time for movies though so I actually will buy several films a year on UHD Blu-ray. I only really pirate films that are either out of print or not available in my country on disc.

  • fre:ac is an open source alternative to EAC and is actually way better, in my opinion.
