>tfw there are people on /mu/ that listen to lossy garbage
fucking plebs don't even know what flac is
Flac's some annoying shit that I can't put on my phone and takes up more space than lossy files that are indistinguishable from lossless in normal practice.
I like 320/v0
>>66314560
My iPhone doesn't play FLAC
>>66314560
what the fuck is that setup

>I'm 14 and I just discovered what lossless music is
Okay.
>>66314635
My android doesn't play them either.
Actually does it? It might have been some wmas it was refusing.
>>66314674
Use Shuttle player. Android has FLAC support but not all app players do.
>>66314635
I only have $250 headphones anyway I doubt I could hear the difference
So really there's no point for me
>>66314560
are those just pre-amps? I don't get what he is trying to do
Fucking tards, you listen to lossless because lossy files lose data over time due to rotational velocidensity.
For example, rotational velocidensity affects all audio files encoded with lossy compression. These include mp3, aac, and ogg.
The most notable effect of rotational velocidensity is the loss of bitrate in files. A lossy audio file will lose an average of 12kbps a year. But, this can vary greatly depending on the type of storage media used.
Examples:
SATA HDD: ~12kbps
IDE HDD: ~15kbps
SCSI HDD: ~7kbps
DVD: ~16kbps
CD-R/RW: >21kbps
This can be overcome by compressing audio using lossless formats such as FLAC, APE, or TTA. These formats are designed to never lose quality over time, and will sound the same right now as they will in 10 years.
>>66314635
do you have the original webm?
>>66314754
Furthermore, hearing the difference now isn't the reason to encode to FLAC. FLAC uses lossless compression, while MP3 is 'lossy'. What this means is that for each year the MP3 sits on your hard drive, it will lose roughly 12kbps, assuming you have SATA - it's about 15kbps on IDE, but only 7kbps on SCSI, due to rotational velocidensity. You don't want to know how much worse it is on CD-ROM or other optical media.
I started collecting MP3s in about 2001, and if I try to play any of the tracks I downloaded back then, even the stuff I grabbed at 320kbps, they just sound like crap. The bass is terrible, the midrange...well don't get me started. Some of those albums have degraded down to 32 or even 16kbps. FLAC rips from the same period still sound great, even if they weren't stored correctly, in a cool, dry place. Seriously, stick to FLAC, you may not be able to hear the difference now, but in a year or two, you'll be glad you did.

literally this
>>66314781
>>66314754
I have ten year old mp3s on my computer and STILL can't tell the difference
>>66314560
I've done multiple tests to see if I could tell the difference between flac, wav, 320, and v0; The difference was too negligible, even when listening on a $600 headphone/dac setup, when considering file size
>>66314560

I'd rather just not accidentally download flac but sometimes it's all that's available, unfortunately.
>>66314905
Same thing with CDs
It's even worse for physical media
>>66314923
Use Foobar2000 to convert it to ogg or mp3

I'd kill just to listen to one album out of them
>>66314754
This doesn't effect solid state drives
>>66314986
Last I heard they were taking it to conventions and events for people to test. Maybe they'll come your way, but from what I saw the setup was crap and limited the actual headphones a lot (especially since people were listening to them in a noisy environment)
>>66314754
>>66314785
>SCSI
I don't usually download FLAC. I have the option, my phone plays it back fine, I have a 128gb microsd card... I'd rather fill it up with v0 encodes though than have to constantly shuffle flacs in and out.
>>66314560
>tfw listening to moe vapes in flac compared to the youtube 64kbps version

>>66314674
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 and it plays flac with the default player. I have a few on my phone.
>>66314560
FLAC is for archival purposes or when you have way too much extra space. V0 is perfect for anyone that isn't a dog or an icuck user.
>>66314905
physical media loses its quality WAY faster than digital does senpai

Audiophiles believe dirty power direct from the socket affects audio quality, so they use one of those to condition it.

Flac takes up too much memory to justify a quality difference I probably won't hear anyway
>>66318098
oh wow you have been here so long look at you! aren't you just so awesome! you know what i hate about oldfags? they think they're so important and they're depressed neckbeards with low self esteem. they know browsing 4chan everyday makes them an underachieving loser so they find an outlet on condescendingly welcoming people. this is one of the reasons 4chan is shit. OH HAHA LOOK AT HIM HE THINKS THATS OC! haha look guys how funny! i s-swear i'm not a loser! it's this guy that HASN'T seen the meme yet! he doesn't sit around on his ass on the computer all day! haha w-what a loser look at him, right guys?!
you fucking suck and fuck you for telling me that isn't OC. why did you feel like you needed to waste the time telling me that? does that make you feel better? huh fatass? are you choking on your doritos? FUCKING FUCK fuck off
>>66317918
The reason they don't in America is because of Edison electrifying an elephant to try and prove alternating currents are dangerous when direct current is just as deadly
>>66314560
I only listen to 24/96 WAVs. I think FLAC sounds muddy because of your CPU working harder to uncompress files.
