After replying to a commenter about the whole FLAC versus MP3 thing, I thought…
I'd rip this bad boy to FLAC & give it a go. I love vinyl, but in the here & now, we're all out in interweb cyberspace. Face it, spudboys & tomatoes. This is ALL digital, so we're squabbling over ones & zeros here.
My take is, depending on myriad factors: from computer or mobile device to speakers, headphones, earbuds; geographical location to personal preference; from software to hardware to wetware, it’s all relative to the individual. To the majority who are just happy to be able to listen to perchance some unique musick, 320Kbps 44,100 to 48,000 is fine.
Definitely lossless is ideal...if it is recorded & handled properly from the analog to the digital (I live for the depth of the Analog Sound), but is it worth…the difference to me in storage between 227MB FLAC or 96MB MP3 is crucial if the majority are fine with 320 MP3.
That being said, here's my first & perhaps only (those blue-finned fish are driving me crazy) venture into FLACland. Ripped from a nearly 40yr old slab of vinyl to 16bit 48,000 FLAC. It does sound great, but I can just listen to the record.
Here's a concept, kiddies. I do this because this is what I want to do.
