I do this too for clients who absolutely want lossless and I am too lazy to load everything and export again. Noone has ever complained
Kek I'm tempted to do this
>>53615741

Works untill some autists decides to check the spectrums, because they sure as hell won't hear the difference

320.... eh

Maybe if they have both files and listen closely.
no.
this is offensive >>53615741
and yes it is easy to tell the difference between 128 kbps and FLAC
...
Is it hard to get into what.cd, and is it worth it? I've read the interview preparation and most of it seems pretty basic but I never tried applying.
>>53615741
No here's what actually happens
>transcode 128kb shit rip to FLAC
>upload it to what.CD
>autistic hipsters on WCD download it and immediately run it through a spectrograph
>immediately notice it's a transcode
>report you
>you get warned or banned
>>53619587
You know ... it sounds like something audiophile autists would really do.
>>53619587

>>53619562
Not really
Only thing I used it for was downloaded a good Windows 10 enterprise ISO because literally everywhere else had nothing and MEGA links were broke
>>53619562
Just reserve one free day for the interview. It could take anything from 1 hour to over 7 hours just to wait for the interviewer. Take it on a spare day, don't get frustrated, be polite to other people, know your shit. You can do it Anon, it's definitely worth it if you like music.
>>53615741
>get reported and banned the second someone actually listens to it
>>53618447
This is true but take into mind they'll already be doubting the source in the first place.
I did this accidentally. Took some autist a couple years to do the spectral analysis. I got a 30 day suspension.

>>53620049
That's not relevant on what.cd. What's relevant is if it meets the standards of the tracker. Use a public tracker instead.
>>53620092
That's what I do. I try to limit my contact with autists to the bare minimum after all.
>>53615741
who is this semen demon?
>>53620130
Fun fact about what.cd: You don't have to engage in the autism! You can just download whatever format you like from the world's largest digital music library.

i once uploaded and transcoded all my collection from 126 to 328 ogg to flac

This is an 18 and older site.
>>53619710
I think it's really common there it's not actually worth the trouble to download. I once downloaded a FLAC before having what.cd and it was a really obvious transcode, even in sound

I mean, those are probably the same people who think beats are good headphones.
>>53615741
you forgot to add noise proportional to RMS above 16kHz to fool spectral fags.
>>53625439
this. I routinely do it. Nobody can hear the difference, and the stupid """audiophile""" autists that examine spectrograms never complained to me.
I've got a script that automatically fetches popular CD mp3s from piratebay, reduces bitrate to 128 if it's higher, transcodes to FLAC, adds high frequency noise (I wrote that part myself) and creates a new torrent for a private tracker. So far I've uploaded over 500GB worth of crap that audiophiles use to "test" their retarded systems.
It's like a hobby. I have the script running when my pc is idling. It's like donating computing power to research, except the research is figuring out how retarded the "audiophile" community really is.

Why would an audiophile need a spectrograph? Shouldn't their ears alone be enough to tell the difference?

Can't think of it being even similar to be fair. Twin Peaks may have "worked" in the early 90s but most people would raise an eyebrow at half the shit in that show.
how do i into spectrum analysis to check if the lossless is really lossless
>>53618447
Most people think they can, but if you actually try to abx test it you'll have a hard time to do that.

Fuck you, I watched it recently as it never went on television in my country and I loved it.
You literally cannot tell 320 from FLAC.

AccuRip and CTDB verification for CD rip albums and transcode smart asses are fucked
>>53626989
with a decent audio setup you can.
its only really evident in cymbal rolloff and things like that but there is a difference.
Really the only reason i have my library in FLAC is for archiving and the ability to make lossless -> lossy transcodes.
>>53627024
>having FLAC
>don't listen to FLAC
>>53627024
I dont know mate, maybe you are right. My gear isnt really that expensive, but so far i noticed no difference.
>>53627038
On my desktop where i have easy access to the FLAC i listen to it.
On my phone or whatever else i transcode it to vorbis quickly because the bitrate/quality ratio is pretty great.
>>53627024
Try to ABX that, it's mostly bias because you know which sample is which codec

>>53627093
You're excused.
>>53626964
Look, I watched it back in 2012 and I loved it too. But I could see perfectly why many other people wouldn't these days.
Besides the ending was like taking acid for the first time.

>>53620178
What is this from?
David Lynch has a great taste in women.
I just made this, it starts with flac track then switches to mp3 every 5 seconds. Tell me if you actually hear the difference. mp3 rip did come from the same flac used here.

Donna a shit and Norma = the best
>>53627345
what bitrate of MP3?
>>53627392
secret ;)
>>53627392
320
>>53627214
Donna is the worst character ever. She and James ruined the show.
But Shelly is the best, next to >>53627360
>>53626943
5/6. in the acoustic one i can clearly hear that it has more clarity in bassy parts. i have really really shit IEM headphones tho (some cheap ass nigger sony's),
But i dont think i can tell the difference between flac and mp3, i just use flacs to store music for later compression to mp3/opus/ogg (depending on the player)
>>53619775
Is it scarier than a job interview?
I actually torrented Niel Young - Greatest Hits [flac] to burn a music cd.
Sounded like shit.
That was the only time so far that's happened.
could have been a very bad vinyl rip, I suppose, but
>you faggots are the cancer that's killing the internet.
>>53627252
not really considering that she's a mudshark.
>>53627868
that's why I'd rather just pay the $10 for the CD because if you want it done right...
>>53627930
..... rip it yourself.
I don't bother transcoding to mp3 anymore because play music is 7.99 a month.
>>53626943
>internet test. My computer speakers and my headphones aren't good enough.
On my stereo, I can tell the diff between 320 mp3 and flac burned to a cd. Especially an album you listen to frequently and in the same room.
>>53627990
True that, expecting a CD in the mail any day now.
/g/ isn't supposed to be a webshite for sharing technology related DISinformation.
You clueless fucks need to stop your anti-lossless-codec crusade.
>>53628107
lol, are you starting to get paranoid that your flac library is really transcoded 128kb shit?
>>53627754
Not really. You almost exactly know what they are going to ask if you just read the prep pages with thought, so not worries.
>>53628170
128kbps is what Soundcloud and Youtube converts your uploads to. It actually kills the sound quality. Even as a non-audiophile, I can hear this without even concentrating.
>>53628235
Not unless I put it in a flac container. Then it sound great again going by your standards.
>>53628170
Fortunately, I downloaded the entire internet years before "lossless is good" became a meme.
>>53626943
> using garbage cherry picked audio for a sound test
> nothing but mids and loud ass vocals
> you can't tell a difference see!!1!
Pick something with sharper treble, bigger soundstage and actual bass and the shit will stand out like a bitch.
Your test is retarded.
>>53619760
It has non-music files?
>>53628545
a bunch
>years back
>friend downloads a 96kb rip of some no doubt song
>its just the same 10 seconds looped for 3 minutes
>wants it and other songs burned to a disc so he can listen to them in his car
I told him I will buy you every song you have on CD and the albums just please stop downloading trashy mp3s - get the decent bit rate ones.
he never listened and now he has herpes

>>53627360

I find it hard to believe people don't notice the difference between 128kb and a FLAC. Honestly a 320 kb mp3 is good enough for anything though.

What exactly makes what.cd worth the effort of doing an interview?
>>53634468
They have high quality standards and lots and lots of music ripped according to those standards. Even the more rare albums and vinyls are usually really nice.
