True, true.
This arrived this morning along with the Deep Distance LP Dom released. Iām not allowed to open it as the kids are āgivingā them to me for my birthday which is not for a while yet.
If you are careful you can listen in private via the flac on bandcampš
The entire envelope was feckinā confiscated before I got anywhere near it.
Mine were both delivered to the office, so no play time until this evening
You donāt need that to listen! No code for the flac still means you can stream it free, just not download it.
You must know that!?
That is a lossy stream unless something has changed recently. I was confused by it being described as FLAC.
Pedant
As FLAC is just a wrapper you can have lossy FLAC
Which although true is unlikely in this case as B/C free streams are lossy. I prefer Free Lossless Audio Codec to Free Lossy Audio Codec. Fucking stupid I know, but what can you do?
Pedants laugh in the face of unlikely.
There are layers of pedantry within the pedantry in this exchange
What you can do is wait for your presents and quit your jibber jabber.
Or kill your ears with a sub standard preview.
No sign of them here sadly. I have hope they are about to be foisted on me by a neighbour.
Tis true afaik.
Flac encryption itself is lossless, but there can be any old shite inside it
FLAC is both a codec and a wrapper for its output. FLAC output can also be wrapped in Ogg. However, although the FLAC codec has a number of levels of compression available, they are all lossless. Never seen FLAC used for lossy data, except via transcoding.
Good job the football is on
