I love Music (in FLAC), and am currently using What/Waffles to download most of it - What has like 200,000 flac torrents.
However I have been told Pedro's is the best music site for FLAC...I am wondering if its actually any better than What.cd and is it worth having both? Anyone here who has both let me know :)
Pedro's is a nice complement. It does have some albums not on What, but those are few and far in between. The quality is assuredly higher, but the number of FLAC torrents on What.cd dwarfs the ones on P's (to also be fair, though; the number of "perfect" FLAC's on What isn't as high as the number of FLAC torrents).
P's isn't a place to rely on solely for your music needs, but if you need a nice place to go to with perfect rips, nice scans, and if you're into jazz and rock, it's hard to beat P's.
"perfect" FLAC?.
Ok Darth Rings, good to know - thanks for your reply. Ill definately be looking out for an invite ;)
Lol, that's based on the settings and application it's ripped in. Someone decided on 'perfect' settings, and to make a 'perfect' FLAC you must replicate those settings.Quote:

You can try it yourself, if you rip a CD properly in EAC (or download a rip), burn it to a disc, and then rip that CD in EAC, the CRC values for each track will match precisely.Quote:

So do you love music in general or only in FLAC ?Quote:
