K so the sign I showed you is sitting atop the lil Chinese Restaurant on the of Union & Bascom in front of what was Cosentino's and it reminded me of this one>

someone needs to climb up there and paint a shark on it and even better a turquoise one!

 

Unkie,
Is Beyonce' really pregnant or is she faking it?

 

How does .flac work? How does one find .flac tracks?

 

Either way it's destiny's child.

 

I'm not an expert by any stretch on compression algorithms, but basically the reason FLAC works the way it works is that it takes a "hard (fixed-point)" sample of the data (instead of a floating-point sample (like mp3), shrinks the word down to as much as possible, and then attaches an MD5 checksum number to the header of the sample. So, when you extract the sample back out, the MD5 checksum instructs the decoder on how to extract the full original sample correctly.

I've never handled a question like that before, I hope the explanation makes some sense.

Most of the ones I have I made myself from my own CDs, recordings, and 1-2 classical LPs I digitized*.

That said, hdtracks.com sells their wares in .AIFF, .FLAC, and 320k mp3. I haven't bought anything from them, but many (many!) of my stereo geek friends have.

 

I tried to get um to follow me to SJ butt they had a previous engagment













What would you have done with them if I had delivered them to your porch? < ontopic

 

 

You're no expert, but I don't know shit, which is why I asked. So you can rip CD's into FLAC files?

Also, do compressed mp3 files (say 126 kbps) that make their way through the intertubes to various computers and then back on the internet and so on, "deteriorate" over time? Or are low quality rips simply low quality for life?

 

Groan.
