Hi,
I've come across some music blogs that rip old esoteric records and post them as mp3s.
Anybody know such a place for lossless rips (Wav, Aiff, Flac etc.)?

Thanks.

:lol:

All the blogs I find are crappy 128Kbps MP3's. :twisted: What a waste because most of those music blog sites have great albums.

Keep digging...

word wav files are like half the size if not more then an mp3 it would be to much on the server.

can't beat vinyl,personal,better sounding,more interresting to look at and feel.

320kbps ripped song is about 5-6mb.
WAV ripped song is about 40-50mb.
Loseless WMA is about the same as the 320kbps.

I don't know what format the blogsite is ripping to so I can't say for sure.

I got many vinyl rips on my PC. They are all recorded in 24bit and saved as flac. But I did them myself and wont post it on the net. :twisted:

Hey I paid money for the vinyl. so.......

You wouldn't just give away your hard work, but would you sell some of them?

When i'm downloading off the net i stay away from flac and lossless anyways.Maybe it's just me but it's too much work having to join the files.(since they're big they have to seperately uploaded)Then extract,convert and the open in SF and chop when the end result has to be 44.1hz and 16 bit anyways.I'd rather just start with the MP3,load it up and chop.

And personally......i really don't hear the BIG difference anyways.(But that's just my opinion)

Peace.
