Lossy. And I convert .png's to .jpg's.

Whatever Spotify spits at me.

My hardware nor ears are good enough to go full audiophile anyway.

I am fine with anything better than <2009 youtube tier.

this

Just the other week i converted all my collection to lossless flacs.

About 300GB of mp3s now take up around 1TB but totally woth it! Looking back it seems so stupid to store lossy music.

how is this possible?

 

you can go back from lossy to lossless?

Based.

You are a retard.

rude!

It's not possible. You can't restore what has been lost by lossy encoding. This has to be a troll or complete retard.

 

And modern codecs with reasonable file sizes are lossy, but have so little loss it is not noticeable unless you have like perfect hearing and a top of the line hi-fi setup. For 99% of people with normal ears and normal audio hardware it does not matter.

 

But audiophiles also buy gold cables, so there's that.

thought so, lmao

I pay 2.5 euro every month for yandex.music

I prefer hq vinyl -mp3 conversions

I only listen to the "Pure Focus"-playlist on Apple music when I wörk (calm electronic music without singing). Sometimes some calm folky stuff and every couple of months I listen to Irish Rebel songs on YouTube.

 

 

Still not as dumb as mahogany cable supports.

 

To listen to this on repeat:

 

I find it funny how all the growl-metal sounds the same no matter the language.

 

This is one of my recent favourites.

Lossless = no information is lost (popular codecs: FLAC, ALAC, WAV)

Lossy = compressed, information is lost (popular codecs: MP3, Vorbis, AAC)

What audio quality setting do you use?

What do you mean?

In Spotify you can choose the audio quality in settings, which one do you have set?

You mean "streaming quality?"

It's set on "automatic"

I see, t.hanks

i like .m4a

also i consider that compressing is likke archivation, no?

no lossy conversion is literally cutting off more then two thirds of the sound spectrum.

t .24bit masterrace

Sound has these dimensions: amplitude, frequency, and phase. The human ear can only hear a spectrum of amplitude (1000 Hz - 5000 Hz) and frequency (20 Hz - 20 kHz).

 

Mp3 and other lossy formats generally try and remove at a minimum what the human ear cannot hear but often will remove more, lossless formats like flac do not remove anything.

 

Almost all formats include compression, because you can compress files without data loss.
