Is FLAC a meme?

I asked my mum and she said yes

Short answer: Yes

Long answer: It is.

FLAC is WAV for numales

I don't know dude you're a decade late. Who cares

>>71154255
no.
mp3 320kbps is a meme though

>>71154255
really, what's the point of not having all music in FLAC these days when storage is so cheap? If it's avaliable in FLAC, just get it

>>71154401
They can't afford harddrives and don't know where to download the flacs.

i have the space and im on soulseek and i frequently see flac albums but i just pick the mp3 ones because i simply dont have the equipment to hear it, neither my headphones or my 2.1 speakers combined with my integrated pc soundboard are good enough for high frequencies, either that or i just cant hear them

>>71155246
and by "equipment you don't have" you mean above-human ears

Nah.
FLAC is pretty good, it doesn’t take up that much space honestly and you can always convert to your own lossy format of choice (I convert to Vorbis for my shitty Sandisk,)

>>71154255
FLAC is far better than AAC / MP3. It could be distinguished easily by just listening to it.

i'd like to use vorbis but
>a lot more stuff can play flac but not vorbis surprisingly
>flac is better for having a master copy (you don't want to convert lossy to lossy ever)
i've never A-B tested flac and vorbis/mp3
i know i can definitely tell anything vs youtube apart, but that's a given

sansa clips aren't shitty, smack rockbox on there and it's bitchin

>>71155246
Even using cheap headphones it could have a huge difference.

>>71155356
i can tell youtube vs anything easily because youtube is fucking 192kbps, probably a lot of people could tell if they focused

>>71155270
>low frequencies are heard, not felt
kill yourself

>>71155432
i will

>>71155341
then feel free to do some abx test and post results

>>71154255
as an archival format that you should reasonably be using? no.
as something that will give you superior sound quality to lossy formats with a high enough bitrate? yes.

CD : 1411.2 kpbs
FLAC : 900 kpbs
AAC : 256 kpbs
MP3 : 320 kpbs (but still AAC's decoder is written by APPLE, so it's superior)

But you still need to have original lossless audio(CD, Vinyl or Bandcamp).

>FLAC sounds so much better than mp3!

my friend, a test of your claim of easy distinction

>>71155270
Hey, we can't all be Batman.

>>71156115
>FLAC
>900 kpbs
sure
also:
>not converting your flacs to lossless 1411 aiff
