I already dislike mp3 format as it is, but I download the new Disavowed, and then I heard that shitty washy hi-end and overall flubby shit sound. And what do you know, its 128kbps mp3's. Uhhhh........... How can people listen to that shit? Really? Its crap! Anything under 192 I will not listen to.
I got an Ipod, and my buddy said "dude, you can load that w/20 gigs of music, thats a decent chuck of your cd collection". I said "what are you high? I aint gonna put mp3's on this , its wavs only". I listen to podcasts in mp3, because its just people talking.
Mp3's are ruining music quality, why bother getting your bands cd mastered, when people will just convert to mp3 and totally kill the quality and make the audio so flaccid and lifeless. "Oh wow, I have 100 albums of shitty mp3's on my Ipod, its so cool, I am like a walking jukebox".

And dont get me started on the loudness war................

CDs ruin the quality too.

Why the fuck would you use the .wav format when you could possibly use a form of lossless compression?

Yeah, FLAC, and SHN ftmfw.

From what?(unless your talking about analog tape) If the music was recorded digital(16/24 bit, 44.1 - 192kHz), then the cd is the final output. I cant wait till cds are 24bit cd.

I do, wav lossless.

funny DAT's can record 96khz @ 24bits.
turning 96khz @ 24bits into 44.1khz @ 16bits sounds to me like you are losing quality. Also, going from analog to record is a lot better.

Of course they can, they are partialy DIGITAL(digital audio tape) But cds are ONLY 16/44.1. You cant play a 24bit file in windows meda player, nor will a cd play anything other than 44.1/16 bit. Every recording studio records at 24 bit and anywhere from 48.1 to 192khz, but in the end it has to get dithered to 16 bit, and downsampled to 44.1= cd format.

Downsampling from 96kHz to 44.1 is not as EXTREME as taking a 44.1/16bit and creating a 128kbps mp3, the compression is just ludicrous.

um... so if microsoft can't do it, then it's ok?
I'm pretty sure my audiology card can do 24bit @ 96Khz.
that makes CDs sound terrible doesn't it?

people give up quality for convince.

I have know clue where your going w/ this Revered "Asian", or perhaps you are misunderstanding me. I am all for higher bit depths and sample rates.
I would bust a nut for a 24/96 audio cd. I dislike low grade mp3's, peeps listening to mp3s on there celly, like its great.

"people give up quality for convince" - Thats the problem, quality comes 1st to me.

And stop replying with "um....." (edit: only 1 time, my bad)

u guys are all pussies. digital and anal-log suck for diffferent reasons. they are also awesome for different reasons. live is sweet. but recordings are great too. distortion/clarity/analog/digital/lossless/lossy/tape/vinyl/optical/gain/eq/flat/monitor/blah/shut/up
i listen to shit at 80kbps granted 192 sounds better no point in crying about it.

You are right, wav is lossless. But there are other forms of compression that will get the file size down to a comparable number to mp3.

A FLAC file should be no more than 5 megabytes?
