I'm waitin for the 5000 conFuxio :mrgreen:

Oh, I just read another method to prove it. Much easier (well I'm used to walk the hard way ;)).
Take a wave sample , covert it to flac, covert that flac back to wave, compare the original wav and the wav you've just converted out of the flac bit by bit. should be exacly the same size.

:)

peace

i found this the other day.
a site that gathers links from various blogs that share some pretty out there vinyl rips.
i used this before i got my turntable to practice sampling etc. some pretty obscure shit on there if you hunt through it.
some of the sources dont work so make sure to browse thru em all

Some dope blog links giving away FLAC rips...

mmmm, that's doable, lemme drop it (guess what... as funky as I can):

http://avaxhome.ws

http://undatheradar.blogspot.com/

http://intotherhythm.blogspot.com

Start here, follow the links... could give you a ####load of links, but that's just enough to reach all areas of this blog-sphere.

For your information,

1- Take into account that most part of these blogs are on a G platform (the big one nothing 'bout the O ones;-) so if you Google that way:

"funk blogger lossless" or "soul blogspot lossless" you'll have more joy than just going "funk blog lossless".

2- All of the content is on Rapidshare, if you go digging digital (the cheap punk way I also don't dislike), consider investing 10 dollars on their monthly subscription, it's worthy.

3- Best way to search a blog is to GOOGLE inside it. E.G.: If you're looking for some Fender Rhodes in lossless format from intotherhythm's blog I'd go like:

Rhodes lossless site:intotherhythm.blogspot.com

4- Lossless format is RARE, because of the size, the ethic issues and the copyright infringement. Be prepared to dig, are you sure that a portable player and some hours spent at the Recordshop won't make you happier? Not hatin', since as you can imagine I do it myself. I mean, finally both things can co-exist and even lead one to the other.

Last thing I leave you with, it's what.cd instruction to join (NOT EASY, I'M STILL WORKING ON MY APPLICATION TO IT).

Once you got that membership, you'll be sharing music with major audiophiles, peeps spending grands on hi-end equipment and passing nights finding the best way to encode their rarities on 24-bit 96K FLAC.

Most part of the times you could not get ANY access to those unique wax artifacts if not personally knowing those folks.

Have fun, dig and post some heat:-)
