Very interesting. I knew JPEG compressed and lost photo detail but didn't know that MP3 did the same.
Finding the ghost in the MP3 - Home | Spark with Nora Young | CBC Radio
Excerpt:
"Composer Ryan Maguire finds musical inspiration in sounds that are lost. Specifically, he's figured out a way to make new music by isolating the musical "ghosts" that are normally taken away when a track is compressed into an MP3. His project is called The Ghost in the MP3."
http://www.cbc.ca/radio/spark/284-st...-mp3-1.3057424
^
Yup, it's true mp3 is a lossy format. FLAC formatted file are much less lossy. They take up more space then an mp3, but that is less of a concern today then in the past.
FLAC is lossless, not just less lossy.
Zombie thread. Anyone listen to MP3's anymore? I stream with Google Play, and download through that. Prince just streamed the Baltimore concert through TIDAL, which Jay Z is behind now. It has a high fidelity option which will beat MP3's.
I just buy the odd song off iTunes and wouldn't have a clue as to what format I'm getting or whether it is pure or not. Just thought trying to recreate lost music sounds was an interesting techi-thing thing for this guy to be doing.
From this I can't tell whether or not people still listen to MP3's anymore, but it sounds like some might be.
Five Best Streaming Music Services

"Then it gave us scan-and-match in 2012 so you got high-quality versions of the crappy mp3s you downloaded years ago, introduced the subscription-based Google Play Music All Access in 2013, rolled YouTube into the mix with YouTube Music Key last year, and even just recently added curated playlists, instant mixes, and more.

Yep, still using MP3s. Personally I have a hard time hearing the difference between a high bit rate mp3 and FLAC. Could be my hearing isn't very good anymore.
I like MP3 for the ability to be played on multiple platforms without needing to have a specific player, or change formats depending where I am.
Google play will do that (I use it on Apple devices, my daughters Android and my Roku), and I suspect TIDAL (which is winning a lot of support, and has the HF option) can as well. You can download your playlist onto any device if you want use it offline as well, but don't have to if always on line. Its flat monthly fee, once you use a streaming service, its hard to ever imagine going back to MP3's, there are a few bands I haven't found on google play (like Zepplin), but most are there.

Indeed.
And I don't need to pay for any subscriptions or nonsense like that, either. I have a 32 GB memory card in my device loaded with mp3s, which I rotate frequently. As long as the battery is charged, I can listen to my heart's content.
I've got a pretty big collection of music that I've still got since I was 15, variety is not an issue.
MP3 works exactly how I want it to work, so I don't see much point in changing how I listen. If I didn't have the music collection that I do, then a streaming service might make more sense.
^I think if you are happy with your collection, and don't see yourself expanding it, that makes sense. If on the other hand, you want to listen to new music, or expand your collection, a streaming service will very quickly pay for itself. I find I listen to more variety now, than I did with MP3s. I pay $10 per month, and five of us use that subscription, all with our own personal playlists. Its also, I found, a lot less hassel when you change devices, don't have to back up, or copy, or anything, it just downloads your playlist onto device for listening offline.

I pretty much find all my new music on Youtube and internet radio. From there I download copies of whatever I like. I don't care if it violates copyright or not.
From my work computer using my fairly complicated smart playlist setup I build a number of years back:
Acadian Driftwood - Richard Shindell
Fade - Calexico
Wicked Campaign - Modest Mouse
Of Course We Know - Modest Mouse
Budapest - Jethro Tull
New Kid (On the Block) - Barenaked Ladies
Greatest Lovers - Luke Sital-Singh
Golden Sorrows - Blackie and the Rodeo Kings
We Don't Belong - Luke Sital-Singh
Lovecats - The Cure
I buy on iTunes so my files are AAC. When I rip, I rip to ALAC so I can have lossless originals that iTunes will compress when they go to my phone.

I like the idea that by paying a small monthly charge, the artists who made the music I stream / download, get some compensation. I have heard artists are making more money now because streaming is getting more popular. Is especially nice for some of the less well known or commerical musicians, as when they have loyal fans who stream them a lot, they can make some decent money. The stream revenues kick back a % based on what you listen to.
^I have quite a few cure songs in my playlist, including lovecats, and my fav, a forest. Love Radiohead - esp. OK computer. Also smashing pumpkins.

Streaming is a new revenue stream, yes. But some artists have complained that it's an extremely piddly one.
http://www.theguardian.com/technolog...ming-royalties
http://time.com/3590670/spotify-calculator/That first Google Doc revealed that nearly 97% of Keating's income came from sales of her music on iTunes, Amazon and her own Bandcamp website. During that six-month period, Keating earned just under $47k from iTunes, $25k from Bandcamp and nearly $11.2k from Amazon, but less than $300 from Spotify.
Maybe that will work for mega-artists who are getting millions upon millions of streams for their music. But lower profile artists are unlikely to see much more than a few thousand dollars a year with these services, unless something significant changes.
For me personally, I like having my own collection that I, well, own. I've considered checking out Spotify or Google Music (I use the non-paid version to stream my own music occasionally), purely on the recommendation of some friends who rave about Spotify in particular. I just haven't gotten around to checking it out. Really the main reason would be to expand my awareness of what's the latest and greatest, as I hardly listen to radio anymore. I'd still probably end up purchasing albums.

Streaming is extremely poor revenue for artists. iTunes is actually very good money for artists who are not bound to major label contracts.
I think if people can afford it they should pay for their music but I spent my youth recording albums from the library and recording off the radio so I understand that not everybody can afford it. On the other hand, most musicians aren't stars rolling in piles of money. I was at a gig on Saturday where the artist was maybe breaking even on the tour and that's more typical of most musicians and bands out there. I say support them if you can.

There is a lot of debate on this, the main problem seems to be the concern that the recoring companies are taking too much, hence, JayZ getting involved with TIDAL. I read another article claiming artists are earning a lot more money now, than before streaming, because so many people who were illegally stealing songs are willing to pay for a monthly service - that's gravey for artists. Like it or not though, MP3's are now yesterdays technology, much like CD's and Vinyl (just worse quality), some of the debate can be read here, re Taylor Swift pulling off spotify:
http://www.vox.com/2014/11/24/727242...-swift-spotify
I think TIDAL is going to do very very well - with JayZ behind it / committment to sending more to the artists, and a Hi Fi option, its pretty attractive. At some point I might make the switch from Google Play to it.

I did say it was good money for artists not bound to major label contracts. The big labels are brutal in their contracts. I do think streaming is going to have a major roll in mainstream music but I don't think files are going away yet. Personally streaming won't work for me as I listen a lot on long highway drives or on my phone. Streaming would require me to up my data plan costing me at least another $20 a month on top of whatever the streaming company charged. For the $300+ a year I prefer to just buy the albums.
"For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong"
No it doesn't, you can download your favourite songs from your playlist onto your device using WIFI, just like an MP3, at no extra cost, so you still have them on your device if want to use it offline (this is the case with Google Play, and I'm guessing the others also). Its a one click "download playlist to device", and bang.

Is that really any different than saving a playlist of mp3s to a folder in your device?
Fair enough, however I still don't want to redo all my lists, rating, etc across my entire collection. Further I don't want to lose access to my music if I'm not able or interested in continuing a subscription.No it doesn't, you can download your favourite songs from your playlist onto your device using WIFI, just like an MP3, at no extra cost, so you still have them on your device if want to use it offline (this is the case with Google Play, and I'm guessing the others also).

However, that's me, I understand that most people aren't as interested in those things as I am.
"For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong"
Downloading a playlist from a streaming service sounds a bit like today's version of playing someone else's mix tape (like we did back in the 80s/90s). I have a whole external hard drive full of high-bitrate mp3s, so I have no problem with "variety". I wipe and reload my media player with music every 3 weeks or so. Not sure if subscribing to a streaming service would be worth the money to me.
I still buy CDs from bands I REALLY like once in a while, though. I actually sold most of my CDs in 2003 (when they were still worth something). but before I did, I burned them all onto blank CDs and put them in wallets. I feel like I should feel guilty about that, but I am not. The only CDs I keep are collectors editions, rare imported versions, etc.
And on the topic of this thread:
Opeth - Face of Melinda
The Gathering - In Motion #2
Deep Purple - Anya
Judas Priest - Epitaph
Black Sabbath - End of the Beginning
Death - Trapped in a Corner
Megadeth - Foreclosure of a Dream
Pink Floyd - Hey You
Cannibal Corpse - The Undead Will Feast
Weird Al Yankovic - eBay
Its quicker as no cords or similar, but perhaps no different from Itunes, except that you have an almost unlimited choice of music legally. Every other day I remember some obscure band I liked at one point, and stick it on. It seems music formats change every 10 years or so - Vinyl, cassette, CD, MP3 and now streamed (including HiFi). It will be interesting to see which provider does best, I'd like to see TIDAL do well. Neil Young is on google play (I have a few of his songs in my playlist), which is odd given he has his own format nobody is supporting.Is that really any different than saving a playlist of mp3s to a folder in your device?
That's interesting. I guess the guilty feeling would be for stealing someone's intellectual property. There are a lot of 'buts' in this though.
1.) Who wouldn't think it reasonable to back up data that is on a platform that although was promoted as being superior to vinyl is actually easily damaged.
2.) For the most part I would expect the used CD's were sold at a discount to what you paid for them.
3.) The Government of Canada started stealing money from blank CD purchasers which seemingly legitimized the copying of recordings.
The next ten songs I'm listening to are all The Future Sound of London!
(okay, not randomised. Never got into randomising, still like either full albums or hand-picking songs. ). (love zombie threads too.)
Let's make Edmonton better.

#3. - Yes. I never record or backup music. I'm backing up my own photo and video, spreadsheets, company documents, tax and investment files, etc. Zero music. Yet I pay the tax because millions of other people think stealing is ok.

Pretty much switched to Apple Music now but still buy the songs or albums I really like.
One thing that's really nice with Apple Music (and any other streaming service I presume) is I got the family rate so now that my kids have their own tablets they have full access to everything.

Not sure what I'll listen to next however the last thing I listened to was the album Fool's Paradise by The Head Cat, a rockabilly group consisting of vocalist Lemmy (of Motörhead), drummer Slim Jim Phantom (of The Stray Cats) and guitarist Danny B. Harvey (of Lonesome Spurs and The Rockats).

I think this is another Monster cables thing ... where very few people can actually hear the difference between FLAC and a decent encoded MP3 (320 bps for example)

Except, you really don't know what you're missing unless you sit down and compare the two. So why not demand the best?
Also note page two I'd that article: Getting FLACs into iTunes on the Mac
However, in my case I know I couldn't tell the difference. Shooting guns, using tractors and other equipment, snowmobiling, boating, getting seated next to the speakers in the old rock bars, etc. has pretty much ruined my hearing.

Recently started getting into EDM/dubstep. The amount of variety and depth of skill at composing this stuff is incredible. I wouldn't pay to see it "performed", but I'm sure having a great time discovering some new sounds.
Here's a few tracks from a couple artists that clicked for me:
Xilent - Animation
Seven Lions - Tyven
Hey look, a collaboration of the two! Seven Lions & Xilent - The Fall
Like most music, it sounds best cranked up to 11, and then turned up more.
"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction" - Blaise Pascal
Oh I can't hear a difference between vinyl, CDs, FLAC or MP3s, in my case I can barely hear the difference at 160 kbps, 320 kbps is to me audibly identical.
As for playlist, I tend to play them random, a lot of classic rock (Beatles, U2, Doors, Stones, Genesis, Dire Straits...), with a bit of newer stuff

Speaking of, I've had this in constant rotation since Lemmy died. I love how it stops and restarts twice.
