lossless music tracker

let's say it this way...if u have a question 'bout metal.iplay.ro u can ask me

losseless music = compresed format = HQmp3

Ummm. No.

Lossless = NO compression

MP3 (including even very HQ mp3 like 320 CBR) = Lossy compression

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%.

Did you by any chance notice the post I was responding to?

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!

Yes, I wondered the same.

How about you graph that and perhaps throw in a pie chart as well.
