Gryph Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Ah. Well I don't use p2p anymore so flock the morons that do get it. They deserve it for not knowing how to pirate crap properly. Maybe this is more reason to switch from MP3 to a superior format. And yes, flock the French for a virus written by one Frenchman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diso Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Its easy to avoid this especially on secure P2p networks. I like the part where they say it might delete mp3s of those that legally got them. Kinda sux for them huh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, flock the French for a virus written by one Frenchman.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I agree btw, formats I recommend: mp4 (FAAC) (lossy), AAC(lossy), MPC(MUSEPACK) (least lossy), and FLAC (lossless, but has file compression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gaining support and comes in FAAC and iTunes format. OGG is gaining, but compared to AAC, it doesn't quite stand up, the only cool things about it is that it's patant free. I highly suggest MPC as it is the best lossy encoder out there. Now it just needs the support. If you are an audiphile, FLAC is highly encouraged.

BlackKnight Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 This maybe a stupid question, but I use OGG when ripping cds. But, all net based stuff comes in mp3 yeh? So... (?) *Scratches head* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(?) *Scratches head*<{POST_SNAPBACK}>well maybe you oughta start buying eh btw ppl, if you have questions about audio formats, I suggest you ask either I or K AAC is in folks.

If you are an audiphile, FLAC is highly encouraged.the only thing nice I've seen about ogg is it's multichannel support btw K, I heard APE has better file compression than FLAC anyways, lately I've been ripping/converting my scheit to m4a(dolby aac in a mp4 container) and FAAC MP4 Edited April 23, 2005 by Weirdy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I heard APE has better file compression than FLAC<{POST_SNAPBACK}>The compairison ratio is almost the same down the middle. We wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the 2 unless we check the file sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
