Two_Dee 04/05/18 10:30:21 AM #7:	Hearing the difference now isn't the reason to encode to FLAC. FLAC uses lossless compression, while MP3 is 'lossy'. What this means is that for each year the MP3 sits on your hard drive, it will lose roughly 12kbps, assuming you have SATA - it's about 15kbps on IDE, but only 7kbps on SCSI, due to rotational velocidensity. You don't want to know how much worse it is on CD-ROM or other optical media. I started collecting MP3s in about 2001, and if I try to play any of the tracks I downloaded back then, even the stuff I grabbed at 320kbps, they just sound like crap. The bass is terrible, the midrangewell dont get me started. Some of those albums have degraded down to 32 or even 16kbps. FLAC rips from the same period still sound great, even if they werent stored correctly, in a cool, dry place. Seriously, stick to FLAC, you may not be able to hear the difference now, but in a year or two, youll be glad you did. --- https://i.imgur.com/jkyPFfF.gifv <cite>Two_Dee posted [p:899097180] in So what th...

Foppe 04/05/18 12:59:08 PM #19:	leverageblargh posted... Last year I listened to 128kbps files from 11 years ago and tbh they didn't sound as bad as I expected it to be. Anyway Vinyl FLAC>Regular FLAC/ALAC>m4a>mp3 at same bitrate as m4a Not sure but I think even 256kbps m4a can sound better than 320kbps mp3 Don't remember where APE stands in all of this but you're unlikely to come across it anyway so.... Sometimes I feel like I can actually hear the difference in quality between fresh files of FLAC vs 320kbps mp3 despite just a casual audio setup(I use normal earphones, not even those big-ass headphones) but maybe it's just my imagination. APE is basically a more compressed FLAC. The music file uses less storage space, requires more CPU to play up and is barely supported by players. So I would place it below FLAC/ALAC and above m4a. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.
