It's not a spambot guys.

Why does the spambot leave such delightful comments to the webmaster?

There used to be spam messages that were mostly on topic, with only one link (perhaps a request for link exchanges or something). Now that the top and middle of the spamclicking market has dropped out, the only people who click on spam at all are the sort who will click on 50 spam links. The semi-topical intros still remain, though, probably because they help against spam filters.

people rip CDs at fucking 320kbps for lossy or crazy bitrates for pointless lossless shit
it's crazy how bloated things are nowadays
just imagine in the future
CD rips taking up terabytes upon terabytes and everyone thinking it's normal

I doubt it. Lossless rips are already, uh, lossless. It doesn't really get any bigger than that.

No, lossless rips are not lossless, they're of the quality of the CD. You still cannot get analogue sound in digital until you have a working model of the entire atomic structure of the recording room in digital to replicate the sound waves within lengths of planks constant.

Yup.
Also, am I the only one who finds it odd how people rip CDs of electronic music?
Surely digital source to CD to digital rip is lossy.
And don't even get me started on people who buy vinyls of albums that were recorded and mastered with digital equipment...

>>293
That's what I'm saying, you can't get CD rips that are above the quality of the CD. A lossless rip is just that - the exact same quality as the CD. So unless they start pressing CDs with models of the entire atomic structure of the recording room in digital to replicate the sound waves within lengths of planks[sic] constant then lossless CD rips aren't going to get any bigger any time soon.

But somehow Bloatgirls manages to almost double the size of their BD rips in the encoding process.

Someone tell me how they do that?

I mean Philosophy is pretty bad, but when you add in the fact they include EVERYTHING in their releases it kind of makes sense where all that padding went, but Bloatgirls?

You're missing the point, buddy. It's about the aesthetic! Vinyl is "in" right now.

That's stupid. The spectrum (flawlessly) covered by a CD goes well beyond what humans are able to hear, so it makes no sense to augment it even further, unless we start augmenting ourselves with bionic ears.

>>301
That is true, as long as the bandwidth is used optimally, rather than compressing the dynamic spectrum to make it louder and thus more noticeable. I don't think we have to worry about anyone being stupid enough to sacrifice quality and fidelity for something stupid as that.

However, for electronic music, MODs (as in: music on disk (as in: floppies)) generated with trackers (such as Protracker, FastTracker, or OctaMED) make more sense, as they are the source of the sound, and require a miniscule fraction of the data space required by the CDDA format used on CDs.

AmiNET, the biggest collection of software on any of the networks, has a vast selection of them.

For re-mixing clips (eg for hip-hop), more bits per sample frame are of course better, but 16 bits are enough for speech, so should be plenty for anything else.

Ah, cassette tapes. The same quality of vinyl, longer durations, portable, and easy to record. Yes, it's a shame they both have fallen out of fashion and were never revived in the same way as vinyl.

Let me also add that cassette artwork was always awesome.

The mod format doesn't mean "music on disk", but rather "module". This is because it combines patterns and samples in a single file, making it very convenient for loading into memory as a lump and playing directly. These things were relevant in the demoscene where the .mod would be incorporated into the program binary and therefore be available without any post-boot disk access.

Every other release on bandcamp has a casette these days. Sure, you don't find them as easily as vinyl irl, but they have regained some ground.
