Anybody who listens to vinyl rips is braindaed, don't @ me.
Yes its 24bit FLAC, but *scratchy noises* mmm so warm bros
@kaikatsu It's not the flac bit that's important though. It's an attempt to preserve the quality of the original source. Ok the source might suck, but it's an accurate rendition of how much it sucked.
@Lux A vinyl rip can never be "preservation" because the medium adds flaws to the playback. CD FLAC or 24bit WEB is ideal.
@kaikatsu Meh, kinda. If all you have is the vinyl then it's doing the best with what you have. If you want to be picky though, ideal source is bitstream from the original studio DAC tape. CD is far inferior to that.
@Lux My priority of download is usually
CD FLAC 100% LOG > WEB 24bit FLAC > any vinyl

I know 24bit is useless but the archivist in me insists on it.

@mewmew Proprietary format? Lossy compression? Are you trying to give us all Stallman strokes? @kaikatsu @Lux

@terryenglish @mewmew @kaikatsu @Lux ay yes, stallman, the toe jam eatin', out-sourcin' bundle of autism
@Jessica @terryenglish @kaikatsu @mewmew STALLMAN DID NOTHING WRONG!!!!! (ok apart from that, but you took it out of context) REEEEEEEE!
@Jessica @terryenglish @kaikatsu @mewmew Srsly tho. Stallman's only crit is that he is a genuine autist. He's really fucked up on communication like most autists are, but I still don't think he's a bad dude at heart.
@Lux @kaikatsu @mewmew @terryenglish all the respect to em, if it wasn't for him, Linux would be a lot worse

@Jessica That autism was channelled to good uses like preserving all of our freedom. @kaikatsu @mewmew @Lux
