If I copy a FLAC file to my phone will the file quality be the same?

>>73161922
FLAC has nothing to do with audio quality

>>73161922
...yes? unless you have shitty earbuds

>>73161922
there's literally zero chance that your IQ is above 60

>>73161922
Yes shitheel

>>73161941
>>73161938
Yeah I mean as in If I drag and copy a FLAC file to my phones music folder will the file quality be the same?

>>73161922
Nope. Most phones can't handle flac and automatically transcode it to ~256 kbps mp3.
Unless you're phone is routed/jailbroke and you have a special player

fucking pleb, all music on my phone is pcm audio

>>73161922
Ask /g/ instead

can you REALly tell the diference though

>>73161922
no it will degrade it significantly

>>73161922
Yes as long as it's copied byte-for-byte and not transcoded while copied.

>>73161991
What do you mean by that?

>>73161982
i know you are memeing but stupid question

whether or not you can tell the difference is irrelevant, the fact is compressing redbook audio into an mp3 MAKES THE WAVEFORM DIFFERENT

>>73161922
Putting FLACs onto a mobile device can cause serious rotational velocidensity at exponential speeds, I wouldn't recommend it unless you're running Arch for mobile.

>>73161970
>>73162057
Pretty much these. Put them on a phone and they get re-encoded and rotational velocidensity ensues, at a much faster rate than normal mind you

>>73162057
>>73162101
I am asking this seriously

>>>/g/60733930/

>>73162004
I mean as long as it's actually being copied it's totally fine.

>>73162549
How do I copy it to my phone without it being transcoded?

>>73162566
Dragging and dropping should do it. What operating system are you running on your computer? You could run checksums against both files to make sure they are the same.

>>73161938
Stop

>>73162620
Windows 10

>>73162648
Alright, not totally sure how to do it on Windows (using GNU/Linux), but I'll try to guide you through the steps. Is there a drive letter with your phone when you plug it in?

>>73162660
Nope

>>73162727
Okay, what program are you using to transfer the files?

>>73162738
Side Sync because for some reason I cant transfer files when just plugging it into my computer

>>73162754
Probably because it uses EXT4 or some other Linux filesystem instead of NTFS. Try copying the file to the phone, and then copy the file on the phone to the computer. Name it something other than the original.

FLAC + Rocket Player

>>73162781
Alright did that

>>73162861
Okay so then open up PowerShell. You should be able to by pressing your Windows key and typing it in. Once that is open type this in: [code]Get-FileHash <original file path> -Algorithm MD5
Get-FileHash <new file path> -Algorithm MD5
[/code]

>>73162907
Sorry about the failed code tags, I'm normally on /g/.

>>73162928
I can't believe you're doing so much for a retard.

>>73162907
>>73162928
Tried typing that in but I have no idea how to do that.

>>73163089
I doubt he's a retard, just doesn't seem to be that good with tech.

>>73163120
Is PowerShell open?

>>73163145
Yep but I don't know anything about Code

>>73163163
Oh don't put the [code] parts in. That is a thing you can do on /g/ to make it easier to read. Type in the following where the file path is something along the lines of "C:\Users\username\Music":

Get-FileHash <original file path> -Algorithm MD5
Get-FileHash <new file path> -Algorithm MD5

>>73163203
Do I type in the file name with the File path?

>>73163345
Yes.

>>73163405
With or without spaces on the file name?

>>73163422
Try putting the entire file path in quotation marks. That should work.

>>73161973
>PCM
bruh this isnt 1989

>>73162015
it is entirely relevant. what does it matter if the wave form is different if you literally can't hear the difference? are you archiving shit or something?

>>73163469
not samefag but
>mfw im an amateur sound engineer and i can hear the difference between redbook and 320 mp3 in most situations
fkm lads

>>73163435
Alright I did that and it didnt work

>>73163422
Right click on the file and there should be a copy path option, or click on properties and it'll have the full path. Copy that.

>>73163689
That didn't work

>>73163689
Sorry scratch that. Right click on it and then shift-click the copy button, and you should get the full path to the file you can paste into the other guy's commands.

>>73163753
Alright finally it works
Now what?

>>73163886
Alright I'm the guy that originally gave you those commands. What is the output of them?

>>73163893
Uh the MD5 has the same line of numbers next it to it on both of them

>>73163920
Okay good, if the numbers are exactly the same that means the files are exactly the same and that the file wasn't encoded into a different format. Now you know that music copied and pasted to your phone from that programs stays exactly the same.

>>73163941
Alright Thank you!

>>73163957
Yeah no problem.

>>73163957
did you consider the gravitational roto-densities at your altitude?
you do care about audio quality dont you?

>>73165055
What the fuck does that mean?

>>73166834
just kill yourself
why listen to music with a subpar comprehension of wave form transmission though non-crystalline cellulosic quantom media?
newton is disappoint

>>73161969
Yes.
/thread

>>73161922
You should convert the files to flac again just to be sure.

>>73166834
He's trying to fuck you, anon.

>>73163537
>mfw you're probably lying because even 90% of people with masters degrees or higher in the field of audio and signal processing can't tell the difference in controlled environments

>>73161922
who cares dude lol
i just convert it some MP3s / FLACs to OGGs 128 kbps. It ALL sound (volume / quality) the same way
