This is why you should always verify that your FLACs aren't lossy reencodes after you finish downloading them.

I do the same but I encode anime with MPEG-4 and claim it's h265

how to tell?

You can't. That's the point.

Also I get all my FLACs off Deezer so I don't have this problem

There are programs like aucdtect that checks if it's real flac. To trick the program I usually add low level pink noise at around -45-50db to mp3, convert it to flac and it shows as 100% CDDA quality. It has frequencies above 20k hertz and retards think it's lossless.
yep this was me lmao

each lossy algorithm has their own telltale quirks

with your ears
mp3 256 is noticeable, 320 is almost the same as flac; nobody could reencode anything lower than 320 and get away with it

Good thing I dont torrent music and exclusively use spanish blog sites that offer direct 'descargar' links.

what does the logarithmic scale refer to? why are decibels negative?
Anthony Reed
>why are decibels negative?
Because it's a logarithmic scale...

Have you done a blind test? How old are you?

At 96 kbps you should just be able to tell with your ears unless the master is giga shitty, but then you have bigger problems anyway.
If you don't want to listen to the whole thing attentively, you can look at the spectrograms or use an automated program. The best I've found is auCDtect. Unfortunately, it's an old closed-source Russian program. The theory is way ahead of the available software here. I have many good papers about this question saved which have no public implementation.
I was going to start a project to write a modern replacement to auCDtect based on these papers but I don't have the time for this right now. If anyone wants to take up the challenge, I can point you to the resources.

so what are they related to? what is the 0db?

>so what are they related to?
Volume of the sound.

Whatever reference point you chose for your scale. In case of the OP's graph I'm guessing it's the maximum level possible in MP3 as all the levels are negative dB.
Brody Smith
but sound is already measured in decibels and the scale goes up...
Anthony Smith
OP's graph probably just uses a different reference level than common sound measurements. Do you know how decibels work in general?
