[Edited 6/17/08 11:15am] yes i do prefer mp3's since it's easier 2 download, doesn't take up that much space on my computer, i can (if i had one) take my mp3 player and hook it up 2 my car while i'm driving and i like dvd boots but would prefer having it in my hand instead of pressing it myself taking up all day 2 do it man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

pjh1972 said: Can someone tell me why torrent files are so massive ? I'm a 'newbie' at this and I don't understand why people would want to download a torrent that's 300MB when an album of MP3s is usually around 75MB.
I don't know why they're so big but people download them because it's hard to find whole albums any other way, you can find singles easy enough but if you want track 12 of some random album, you need to download the whole thing as a torrent. | |

FLAC does not suck
The Lossless Format is the best for audio playback and is the clone rip from CD. Types of Lossless formats are WAV Lossless WMA APE FLAC Apple Lossless SHN and each of them above is ideal for CD burning… the results are fantastic. WAV is the full uncompressed format and others like LWMA, APE, FLAC, AL and SHN are the zip compression (like Win Zip and Win RAR). Zip Compressions are in smaller sizes to help files to be downloaded from the net in quicker time and speed. MP3 loses quality sound from 60% to 90%... depending on the bit-rate (128 to 320). The downside to this is… the burned CD from MP3 is terrible and very noticeable… the sound is off and worse, is the gaps in between tracks during the continuous sequences like live recordings. There is no such thing as burning software to remove gaps automatically and I am not talking about DAO. Amazes me anyone who won't spend 2 to 3 (or less) hours downloading a FLAC set but spends that same amount of time... converting MP3 to WAV and eliminate the gaps with a WAV Editor. Lossless does not create gaps during the CD rips. MP3 is useful for portable listening like MP3 Players and that's all it is good for. There are some audio players than can handle APE and FLAC too. Lossless Rules!!!!! L4OATheOriginal said: torrents and FLAC suck!!

yeah i said it!!! i knew this would get ur attention that's y i said it 
and still stand by it that u can remove the gasp using nero and clicking that button that will eliminate the gaps.
but if u have a crappy stero system, of course the sound is going 2 sound terrible, and it also depends on the recording of the music ur trying 2 get regardless of flac, loseless etc ..if it's shit 2 begin with, it's gonna b shit afterwards man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

It's a matter of being able to hear the difference or not. Or caring about quality or not. I listen to MP3s and don't care much, but if I had a good system, I'd listen to wav. | |

As long as the Mp3s are at least 192Kbps
Im cool ! I hate Flac... They are like WAV files to me.... If its some dirty old Bootleg I think 192-320 Kbps is totally acceptable ! | |

To me you can tell the difference, in a flac file if its a good quality recording you can hear the air being vibrated from the instrument/vocal cords. And hearing that air being vibrated is what music is all about, its where the soul is. | |
