Downside is that it has no built-in field tagging capabilities (or at least that used to be the case, think there are some basic options available now) and is huge. Stuff like FLAC/ALAC/APE are comrpessed, but losslessly (preserves quality, but they're still in "bitrates" - everything is... usually see ~500-600kbps, but it varies, can go as low as ~400 or high as ~800. If you use foobar it defaults and dynamically displays the bitrate of the file you're playing). It's what most "audiophiles" like to use and you're probably not gonna hear a difference between source and a properly losslessly encoded file. MP3 is is a misleading term since it actually encompasses a lot of different compression methods, but they're all "lossy" compressed, which means they lose out on some quality for the sake of smaller filesizes. Most common varieties - 128 kbps, 192kbps, 256kbps, 320kbps. The 128 is the kinda junk you see in single files that you DL off those MP3 sites, whereas *most* torrents these days are somewhere between 192 - 320. In addition, there is "variable" bitrate compression which tries to adjust the bitrate by segment so that the more complex portions get a higher bitrate - you have stuff like MP3 V0, OGG, and AAC among others who have variable options. That covers most of the common formats, but audio encoding can get pretty complex and there are plenty of esoteric formats that have their own minute differentiation, not to mention the distinctions that are present within the format themselves. I'll just close by saying that the file format is not the end all be all of audio quality - in fact it's usually the least important part. It all depends on the source format first and foremost - doesn't matter if you have 800kbps FLAC file if it was encoded based on a 32kbps MP3 (and yes those still exist ;; ), followed by -how- it's compressed, not just the format it was compressed into. Also I'm nowhere near an expert on this this is just a very broad overview I'm sure there are people who will take issue with a lot of the generalizations made here but oh well. Last I heard you have to take a test on this kind of shit if you want to get into what.cd or something lol, pretty dumb but whatever. Also I think most people probably can't hear the difference between the vast majority of these formats, even if they have decent audio equipment, and a lot of it is a placebo. That's not to say that you can't - I just think it's not applicable to most people who don't actually care enough/listen to enough music/invest in enough gear. I'm perfectly happy personally with anything MP3 320+ and can rarely hear the difference between a MP3 320 and a FLAC. | ||

The French TAS for Saint Seiya is really, really good, takes a theme for every house and just rains puns and references related to it. Shaka, Aiolia, Aldebaran are by far the best, Camus would get in too by sheer virtue of his intro but the rest is pretty meh. Teut, I haven't listened to Led Zep for so long now that I think about it. I tend to mostly listen to instrumental (hence a bunch of vg music, compounded by the huge flash playlist readily available w/o having to deal with youtube) because I do several things at once and either I can't pay attention to the lyrics or they'd distract me. Hm... | ||

Also, Christian rap is pretty good, and I'm a pretty big fan of Skillet. somehow my brain pulled only these two words out of what you said, i think i have a promblem also, + Show Spoiler [funk is where it's at ] + | ||

I'm still miffed that If You Can't Hang wasn't around when things dissolved in my last relationship. It would have been a pretty big slap in the face for her. | ||

In the context of this joke, Jesus made his saving roll (likely he was playing a Rogue and had Evasion to avoid all damage) while everyone else failed and took damage from the attack. #D&Djokes On November 01 2013 00:01 jcarlsoniv wrote: I only sing when I'm alone (or streaming), screaming only happens in the car.

Jesus used protect on everyone against an AoE spell and took 99999 damage and died AND he was a healer too | ||
