Hi Kosta,

Yes I cleaned this already good rip...nowhere near what you describe so must be independent source for rip from your supply. I don't know what transcoded is but this is a good rip!

thanks for repy:

"I don't know what transcoded"
...50% of 320 unknown rips from web are not actually 320 but transcoded from other mp3 bitrate...
many users didn't get that transcoding from mp3 to mp3 higher bitrate give a bigger file size only and not a bit of better quality...
so i help myself with ears and "spek" to check if a 320 is true or not...
that's why i like this blog, beacuse other than the music is rare and interesting,
the rips are all true 320 from your real lp rip work,
wich is a rare condition in the mp3-bloggers world

O.K. now I get you Kosta. Yeah, my personal rips are recorded as WAV files which are same sample rate as store bought CD's at 1400 kb/sec. I also don't go higher than what the human ear can hear at the magic frequency 44.1 kHz that is records in although experimenting I had gone to 48,000 Hz but my software has to be specially adjusted for that. I think that is where they get the 'studio quality of 48 x 2 (for left right channels) of 96,000 kHz or maybe it was 192 kHz with Audacity I tried for awhile but all those superfluous frequencies are not heard by our ear--limited to what I use. This rip hear is sent in by EW (new contributor) and uses some other frequency as my software asks if I want to convert it so I can work on it for editing which I do. So it must filter out the higher frequencies that our ears can't hear and turns it into 44.1 kHz so I can work on the file and separate songs and cut out the 'dead space out of people's lives' I jokingly like to say but it is true...song after song you get songs one right after the other. In the past I have had to cut out pops from MP3's such as sent in from the old days of 'soulseek' website and same with EW's submitted files I have to save it as WAV file (1400 kb/sec) so it must 'fill in or duplicate nearby frequencies to fill in the data to the rate. I then with all files use a freeware I have had for many years that simply takes WAV files as input and putputs 320 kb/sec MP3's. So yes, for each of EW's submissions, I am adding much more data but quality never dips below the original but it doesn't detract from the sound in my opinion. Yes, we all agree the old days of 96 and 128 kb/sec MP3's were at crap-low sample rates so much data missing and up converting them to 320 kb/sec will not change that. When I record and post, we all lose some data from WAV to 320 and I keep all source WAV files as they sound better as CD with a little less data loss going from higher to lower. Start high go low that is the advice. Lower is so it doesn't take so damn long to download the full WAV or FLAC files...think of all THAT TIME I have saved over the years while really not much detraction from the sound because I "mic'ed' it good to capture the WAV which is really the key for good sound. Thanks for your comments!
