Flac music

[th0r]

It really gets me down that the scene don't do flac rips yet.

I doubt those sczene kidz know how to rip FLAC properly. It's completely different than popping a CD into Windows Media Player and ripping to 320 kbps.

you shouldn't speak in such an arrogant way about the scene. i'm quite happy that we get their releases.

i prefer flac as well when it comes to quality, but better a lame v2 rip than nothing.

at least they're the ones who buy/get sources (cds), rip them for us and take the risk.

some of them do this for ages and aren't kids at all.

a proper rip in flac isn't rocket science either. in fact it's pretty easy.

when you listen to new music apart from the mainstream, scene releases are your only choice and i'm thankful for them.

yes, i know that flac is superior to v2.

if there was no scene, i would miss 80% of the new albums i download.

unfortunately the common experienced flac ripper on what, waffles, e or wherever doesn't provide me with the new music i like.

if i have a choice, i'll always go for the flac. unfortunately i don't have this choice very often.

i respect the scene!

p.s. when i want the best quality i listen to one of my fresh washed vinlys on my tube amp. it beats everything digital by far

The scene buy their rips? Since when?

A decent rip takes a lot of work, and sometimes there are presets, offsets and other small settings that can make a world of difference.

Well, if we're talking about music like that on indietorrents, a lot of their rips are from their users; some are from the scene, of which is true for most releases on TT, or so I've heard.

I suppose; I've uploaded a few releases from 2008 on the E that cater to the genres of music I'm passionate about.

Dude, you should learn how to rip vinyl. Seriously.

Waffles is actually decent when it comes to proper rips. A lot of the more active uploaders from the lossless sites are exerting their influence there, so you're seeing far more high-quality, standardized rips than there ever were at OPP (R.I.P.).

Also, why do people keep saying E**** only offers old music? I hate to break this, but that site offers a lot of contemporary music, in every conceivable genre.

i don't like indie music at all and i also don't like trance (i like other styles of electronic music though)

i do know how to rip vinyl, but this really takes time and i'm a lazy bastard.

to put my musical taste in a nutshell: it's gotta have soul!

Are you seriously claiming that it's hard to rip lossless?

People that do it wrong are either ignorant or just plain lazy. It takes between 15 minutes and 2 hours (2 hours if your read offset isn't anywhere to be found) to set up EAC and FLAC along with the profiles needed.

The only people that have some sort of excuse are those that are on a Mac and can't run EAC.

Every single torrent site that has audio has extensive guides on the setup needed, and even the longshot that some user does not have access to any of those, they are also easy to find using google.

E is quality, and there's nothing wrong with "old" music anyway, but yeah, there was a lot of up to date stuff too.

Listen to this man.

And about the scene... the priority is speed, not quality (as demonstrated by the 31 I Am Legend releases). I don't see them uploading FLAC any time soon, and debating about it on FST probably won't change much.

i bet you did..

What's that supposed to mean?
