Thank you! I will!

I made a community for survival horror games because I like them and like talking about it. Build it and they will come. Make a community to talk about things you like and those with similar interests will join.

Which Silent Hill game is your favorite?

Yeah only the most popular formats are guaranteed support sadly. Support seems to be relegated to formats that are 20+ years old.

Edit: Just realized vorbis is 24 years old. Nevermind lol.

It might be worth trying. I’ve heard people replace the factory tubes with better ones. Is that something worth considering? What tube amp would you reccomend?

CD-ROM discs came in caddies early on. They weren’t popular with consumers I would guess. MiniDiscs were designed with a protective caddie.

Verbatim for the win

JPG is absolutly fine for web based images. I was thinking more of jpeg-xl. Smaller files size and identical quality to jpeg. Also it supports lossless too. WebP is also good but I don’t like that it’s developed by Google.

I’ve never had access to any tube equipment. I did listen to lossy audio from a late '80s Technics reciever which had a similar effect to what you describe. It made the music much more berable to listen to. I do most of my music consumption on my PC now. I do love the mixes used for vinyl records however, It makes me sad they’re not available digitally. Most modern music is brickwalled sadly. I’ll buy a few records now and again because of the dynamic sound. Sorry for the rant but I love dynamic recordings and I’m sad they’re a rarity now outside of expensive vinyl records.

Edit: I just noticed your username. I love it.

Mp3’s just don’t sound good to me. It’s a very old format that was pretty much the first of it’s kind. Audio compression (while I don’t like it) has improved greatly over the years. I saw another user bring up OGG OPUS and it’s really impressive what it can do. I was able to compress a song to fit on a floppy disk while still being listenable. It kind of sucks that formats like mp3 and jpg are the standard when open formats that are major improvements over older formats fail to recieve significant adoption. AAC 320 is the 60/90 difference to me. I was shocked how close a 320 kbps m4a file is to CD quality flac.

You must be fun at parties

I don’t think you can make .iso’s of Audio CD’s. .bin and .cue files are the standard I think.

It’s just one of those things where once you hear the difference you can’t go back. It’s sort of the difference between a 360p vs 1440p youtube video. The compression artifacts make the music sound so artifical to me. I don’t really know how to describe it. But yes, there is a considerable increase in file size. For me it’s a non issue because I have my music collection on an 8tb hdd. Though I wish phones still had micro sd slots so I could take them with me. My music collection is at 1.2 tb I think. I’m not trying to be an elitist asshole here. I’m just sharing my experience.

Very big difference in quality between mp3 and flac. My advice is if you’re going to do it, do it right the first time. Flac is for sure the way to go. You can always make mp3s from those flacs. Ripping CD’s take alot longer then converting files. fre:ac is a great CD ripping application. It’s similar to Exact Audio Copy but easier to use.

Mp3 has been dead to me for nearly a decade. Flac is superior in every way.

Actually it’s because Elon thinks the “woke left” took his child away from him. Even though he was an absent father who was never around. He has a trans daughter who he refers to as his son because he’s a sack of shit.
