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.

I did not read.

this pasta is older than you, zoomtard,

Don't care
Didn't read
Just enjoy your sad life.

$ convert-audio *.mp3 *.flac
Have fun continuing to listen to shitty audio, retards. I'll be there enjoying my high quality.

I convert 96kbps mp3s to FLAC then upload them to the popular torrent sites. FLACtards cant even tell

kys

i have 600 jpop and vocaloid tracks, all downloaded from youtube as 192kbs mp3s

out of the way faggot
mv reee.mp3 reee.flac
imagine being such a casual, what a joke you are

just doing Gods work to shit on poorfag pirates

I can easily tell at 96 kbps and 128 kbps. Besides, I run everything through auCDtect after downloading and it would detect this kind of thing reliably.

its not as though FLAC quality would improve your shitty music

>shitty music
americans unironically believe this

You don't actually do that because you are a lying faggot, but if you did it would be a total waste of your time. The first thing anyone does is check the files with spek.

96kbps mp3 sounds like telephone hold music. You got too greedy.

nope, only 1 autist like you in 100 downloaders does the checks, as the number of seeders of my files testifies.

and then everyone stood up and started clapping

That'll be really easy for you to verify. Post the magnet.

I love reencoding 96kpbs MP3s as FLACS, posting them to audiofool trackers and then laughing when they thank me for giving them music that can't be found anywhere else in a lossless format.

it would be Sherlock but your cunning plan wont reveal my fake torrents that easily you fucking moron.

there's not even a wavefield to reproduce, just some synths and chipmunk vocals crushed to the centre. nice music bro.

>synths and chipmunk vocals
it's called 「電波」, retard
>crushed to the centre
it's spelled "center", retard

Superb taste

That's a much more efficient way to improve audio quality. Thanks user.

You already posted this bait in the thread, retard. Anyone with functioning ears can tell at 96 kbps. auCDtect can tell at any bitrate.
