BUMP! Take the test to prove yourself.

There seems to be a lot of misconceptions in the music community regarding the differences between 320kbps mp3 and FLAC format. It is true that 320kbps is technically as good as FLAC, but there are other reasons to get music in a lossless format.

Hearing the difference now isn’t the reason to encode to FLAC. FLAC uses lossless compression, while MP3 is ‘lossy’. What this means is that for each year the MP3 sits on your hard drive, it will lose roughly 12kbps, assuming you have SATA – it’s about 15kbps on IDE, but only 7kbps on SCSI, due to rotational velocidensity. You don’t want to know how much worse it is on CD-ROM or other optical media.

I started collecting MP3s in about 2001, and if I try to play any of the tracks I downloaded back then, even the stuff I grabbed at 320kbps, they just sound like crap. The bass is terrible, the midrange…well don’t get me started. Some of those albums have degraded down to 32 or even 16kbps. FLAC rips from the same period still sound great, even if they weren’t stored correctly, in a cool, dry place. Seriously, stick to FLAC, you may not be able to hear the difference now, but in a year or two, you’ll be glad you did.

Please be a non album single.

OOOOO WEEEEE OOOOO I LOOK JUST

I listened to it. It may be musically disappointing for some but it is so painfully real. No album has been made like this.

probably Tylo be Chillin

proably Tylo be Chillin

HI MY NAME IS

5/10 like everything they make

king gizzard and tame Impala are the death of rock

just loop the same riff for 5 minutes and put reverb on everything

One of my favorite albums of 2016

ALL the P4K-core
Mac DeMarco, Best Coast, Wavves, Father John Misty. All that shit. Don't get me wrong, Mac was fine but his fanbase man.

I saw Fat Mike get blasted in the face with a big chunk of ice and shake it off like it was nothing. But then he stopped playing in between songs to tell someone to fuck off because the one thing he doesn't like is being spit on.
Saw some girl flash her titties to the stage and then Melvin commented on her relationship with her father.

I lost my shoes that night but it was a great show

>saw tyler the creator in 2014 during my cringeworthy odd future obsession after wolf came out
>everyone there looked like pic related, complete with full tyler the creator outfits and most of them were jumping around and yelling 'GOLF WANG' or 'FUCK STEVE HARBEY NIGGA'
>half the kids were young 12 year olds, the other half were fat edgy neckbeards
>everyone was sweaty and smelled awful
>no room, super crowded so I kept getting hit in the knees and stomach
>everyone was baked out of their minds and throwing shit everywhere
>during tamale moshpit i got punched in the face and chest
>tyler's performance wasn't that good, mostly yelled the whole time and didnt play much off of bastard which disappointed me
>some hipster chick stole my backpack


overall, 2/10 t b h
