Hello. I just got a really nice pair of headphones, so I am looking to change out some of my mp3's for lossless music. Are there any good lossless trackers out there?

E***o and Oink are the best after them come filemp3 andd vipmusic, so choose and get started
e***o is what you'll need. Kinda hard to get an invite there though.
OiNk has a nice selection of lossless too, and im not quite sure, but i think Pedros is for lossless too.
can someone confirm this?

Very high quality music (bitrate wise).Quote:

u get the same (well almost) quality as the cd.. ey nooby check this out
http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/guide...mp3-files-7732
it might help :D
What about BTMusic?
Lossless usually comes in Flac and lossless means lossless.
If you convert it back to a full cd, its the same exact thing as the beginning.
mp3's are "lossy" and if you convert them back to a CD, it has lost some quality (usually high treble, than low bass, then blurring - depending on the ripping quality and bitrate)
BTMusic is also a lossless tracker, a good one actually.
GOtcha. Thanks. hehe i just full blast my ipod..cant tell if its loose or not its just good.
After spending sometime apple came up with its lossless format. Its called:
apple lossless
or
Apples ALAC format
and it has the extension .m4a
If you convert a flac to m4a it will have the same file size in other words its a format similar to flac but compatible to ipod.
Pedros music tracker is all lossless but is hard to come across an invite for it (http://btmusic.org/index.php)
I use oink for lossless, actually for all my music. I find it the best place for it with a great selection.
oink is the way to go, it has more losseless albums than the double amount of e***o and pedros albums put together
It maybe, but it's very hard a keep a ratio there. :whistling
I would use it only if I desperately need something.
Me too. Free leech changed everything though.
Before the free leech I was 0.75 and I downloaded only when I couldn't find something elsewhere.
Now after the free leech I downloaded more than 20 gigs and have a ratio 2.5
Oink is pretty good, but beware, theyre douchebags.
Metal Torrents has a lossless music category...of course if u like metal :naughty:
are you staff there pECI? you always seem to talk about metal.iplay
or maybe you just love metal...
He just loves metal, especially iron :P
let's say it this way...if u have a question 'bout metal.iplay.ro u can ask me:D

With mp3 and other lossy formats, data is thrown away to reduce the file size.
With lossless, data is compacted but NO data is lost.
Therefore lossless = wav = original CD quality.
A CD properly burned from a lossless source will be indentical to the original CD.
onlineboy have a read of this,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLAC
Hoosierdaddy,
Ummm. No.
FLACs are compressed lossless.
Wikipedia:
FLAC is for efficient packing of audio data, unlike general lossless algorithms such as ZIP and gzip. While ZIP may compress a CD-quality audio file by 10–20%, FLAC achieves compression rates of 30–50%.
BTMusic, E***O and Oink...
Oink!!!

And I responded 'Ummm. No.'...which is correct. Lossless formats are most definitely NOT equivalent to high quality mp3. Lossless is, by definition, lossless. Meaning NOTHING is lost. True, there is file compression involved. But it is NOT lossy compression. Which was my point. Which was lost in all your blather.
And why am I even responding to a two year old post? Geez! :idunno:
Yes, I wondered the same. :PQuote:

Btw most of t.ru rips are fail.
most rips are scene or p2p releases. oh and the few homerips i've downloaded so far were way better than the crappy 700mb rips you can find on Demonoid.Quote:
