so there's a store here that still sells old ipod chargers and i managed to get one so i can't wait to hopefully charge up my ipod classic + touch and see what's on there
80gb felt huge to me back then but now i'm sort of laughing nervously a bit because i'm converting all my physical music collection (vinyl, cd, casettes etc since i have the equipment for it) and putting it on a portable hard drive. i have barely made a dent and i'm already at 32gb
#going to end up like hideo kojima making everything on his walkman 128kbps aac to fit more songs :/

finally found the obscure nu-metal album i’ve been looking for on soulseek. unfortunately the only person sharing it has the username ‘minority_eradicator’

my default position on most things is that i know nothing about them which isn’t like, self-deprecating so much as deep awareness of my relative shallowness as a Media Engager. so Imagine My Surprise when i’m going thru gothic metal playlists trying to broaden me horizons and i know all these bands! many of them are on my old fucked ipod classic at a kbps rate that would make an audiophile cry

To be truly evil, convert a 128kbps mp3 into a flac and pretend it's higher quality.
Become a true villain by distributing it.
#music#audio file#i saw someone download from youtube as a flac file and I don't think they umderstand.#like#you know it's already compressed right?

「武満徹さんの話ですけど、戦争中に空襲に遭って防空壕に逃げ込んだら、居合わせた将校が、蓄音機でシャンソンをかけた。もちろんノイズがいっぱいだったんだろうけれど、その時もの凄く感動して、彼のその後の音楽活動の原点の一つになったんだそうです。だから、“音のS/N”と“音楽のS/N”って全然違うんです。MP3の128kbpsでギザギザの音でも、心を大きく揺さぶることはできる。必ずしも『高音質=音楽性が高い』というわけではないんですね」

Several Brobecks W's today
The "complete" version of their first album The 4th Of JuLive has finally been obtained in way higher quality. Previously we only had 128kbps MP3s from way back in the day. And we did not have original mixes for the tracks that were cut from the album.
But now we have a rip of an original CD before the tracks were cut.
This is pretty significant, to visualize
Previous best audio quality
New best
Slightly higher quality rip of the bands 2003 demo disc has been obtained too (previous best was 320 MP3, now lossless rip)
And original mixes of the bands 4-Track Tapes, instead of the 2021 remasters have been obtained (though I can't share all of those)
The wiki will be updated soon with downloads for what I can

320kbps puts nintendo music above youtube music (256kbps, with regular youtube videos only being like 128kbps) and soundcloud (paid tracks are 256kbps apparently, otherwise 128kbps) and on the same level as spotify (also 320kbps)
amazon music, apple music, deezer, qobuz, and tidal all offer lossless music, so it's not as good as those
if someone finds a way to rip from it (which is somewhat likely since that's happened for all the ones i mentioned) i hope they add lossless quality so we can get that for all of the games on it that didn't get soundtrack releases (or at least those of them that use streamed music, which thus far would be pikmin 4, mario kart 8 deluxe, and maybe the wii channels).
320 would still be good, but prevents you from making it into, say, vbr v0, without losing quality by doing a lossy to lossy conversion (which is like the audio form of saving something as jpeg multiple times)
anyway i suppose if someone does figure out how to rip the music it'd just end up on the same sites that upload other nintendo music, so you wouldn't need a tool to do it yourself like with the other streaming sites probably

I literally cannot imagine what society would be today if linkin_park_-_crawling[128kbps].mp3 hadn't existed.

i used to check out as many cds as i could from the library and rip them all to my computer and then do another round the next time
wish i'd known about lossless audio back then though
not that my computer could have handled that. but i might have some music from back then that wasn't 128kbps

pro tip: don't fall for audiophile nonsense
"Hi-Res" audio is a meme. I know this sounds like the "cinematic FPS" argument but your ears are literally incapable of hearing greater than 16-bit 48kHz audio.
breaking it down, first the 48kHz part: digital audio is stored in samples, which is a measure of the amplitude at a single point in time. the sample rate is how frequently the signal is sampled, forming our digital sound. and thanks to the Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem, which dictates that any band-limited signal can be represented perfectly with digital samples taken at twice it's frequency, for the human limit of 20kHz, 48kHz is actually more than enough as it can encode a signal up to 24kHz
as for the 16-bit part, that dictates the dynamic range of the audio, in other words, the difference between the loudest signal a format can reproduce compared to the quietest one when it starts blending in with noise
16-bit audio, with proper dither and correct encoding, has a practical 120dB of dynamic range, which is "greater than the difference between a mosquito somewhere in the same room and a jackhammer a foot away". you don't need 24-bit audio, although it doesn't hurt, unlike >48kHz audio (see this excellent post about how ultrasonics can lead to distortion on most gear, actively hurting sound quality, by Chris Montgomery, founder of xiph.org, the foundation behind the FLAC, Vorbis and Opus audio codecs, so you can know for damn sure he knows more about digital audio than most of us combined)
don't spend extra for hi-res files and such. They're really only useful if you're a producer, as the extra data helps you keep good quality while mixing your track.
And for the love of god don't fall into the MQA snake oil rabbit hole, it's lossy and the "origami" bullshit they're peddling adds distortion and artifacts to the file, and they went bankrupt recently so that just shows how good their product is
Don't confuse this with an excuse to listen to the shittiest 128kbps mp3s straight out of Napster, lossy vs lossless codecs is a different subject altogether (hint: just get the FLACs, but beware your bluetooth buds can't do lossless)
TL;DR just get good gear, a humble 16/44 FLAC file, and enjoy mathematically perfect music
(and later watch these amazing videos by Chris from earlier going over this much better than i ever could)
and please don't take anything i've said at face value, i'm no expert, do your own research!! that is the magic the internet enables you to do
wow an actual informative post on my trash blog go me
