Lossless Recordings

Given my recent experiences with a proportion of my collection and knowing how passionately the debate concerning lossless and mp3 upload formats continues in on-line music sharing circles I plan a slight change to the way in which I continue to upload.

Going forward each upload will be made in two formats:

Good Quality MP3 (192 kbps) - for those that wish to transfer straight to devices
Lossless FLAC Level 8 - for the audiophiles and the anal collectors!

To date I have only posted retained lossless format where specifically requested to do so by the original uploaders, I think that where known, this preference should be honoured. Other posts have been in highest quality 320 kbps. In order to speed up the process a little, as indicated the MP3 files will remain high quality but at 192 kbps.

The choice is then yours.

Thanks,

Adrian.

  2. I've always found that mp3's when converted to audio cd's produce a perfectly acceptable sound quality (especially on soundboard and fm recordings). As long as you have reasonable quality stereo equipment it shouldn't be a problem. Unless you have a hearing range similar to a dog I can't see the point of the debate.

    keep up the good work.

    cheers

  3. Of course you are right there Shaun, especially for somewhat gig damaged ears! Nevertheless, the debate goes on so I am happy to do both.
