I'm looking for the files I end up with to be playable on Mac, on my iPhone, on my Volumio streaming system (running on Raspberry Pi) and Windows. I'm wondering if a format like Ogg Vorbis (which I guess is now deprecated) or Opus (which kind of replaced it) would be the way to go? I'm not sure if it's supported everywhere.
MP3s sound dead and flat to me, but native CDs, AACs, AIFFs, seem to sound fine, based on non-rigorous comparisons. I'm a musician, I have a good ear for sound and balance and color, so I want it to be as good as possible.
I want to listen to music, generally while I'm doing other things, and sometimes, for critical listening. I do not have a high-resolution system through my entire chain, and don't want to play that level of the tech game. Extreme, in terms of file storage, which I guess is cheap nowadays, but still. Look, I know that WAV can be used to save them, but that just seems extreme and unnecessary. I was asking whether there's one that's slightly worse! But only slightly. I am not sure about that but can tell you it sounds much (!) better than mp3 (no surprise) and is widely used to distribute commercial digital audio files as it is roughly 1/2 the size of Well, you almost understood my question, except for one thing: I wasn't asking whether flac is best or if there's one even better.
Flac is supposedly a lossless compression algorithm, so converting a WAV file to flac and back to WAV should result in an identical file on the backend as the front-end (at least within 1-bit to account for round-off errors). I opened an issue there on tis topic and get a reply within a few hours and we have been working the issue but I have no remedy at this I think I understand your question: Is flac a worthwhile format or is there a better one out there that imparts even less distortion? I will stay out of that discussion except to say you might want to look at WAV files, which is contains the straight-up PCM data with no compression whatsoever. Help is appreciated! there was another post stating that this was a Q/A channel for users and that support questions needed to be go to the support channel. Most CD players I run across these days will play 44.1 kHz flac files from disc, no problem, but I still convert my flacs to WAV files before burning a disk. And as I said, I'm open to a lossy format if that fact isn't immediately apparent on first listening. suggestions? I was planning on using FLAC for everything, is there some control that I'm not seeing to limit the volume on these? Or is there another format that you feel will satisfy my objectives? I don't want to use AIFF or WAV just because of file size, but could do it. I can make out that it is the tune, but it is blasting and distorted in the extreme.
Cd to flac mac#
The Apple Lossless files won't play on the Windows PC, but they are fine when I bring them over to the Mac (as M4a files) the AAC files surprisingly are not playable by iTunes but they open in Quicktime Player and the FLAC files come in to both Windows and Mac players with wildly oversaturated amplitude. I was able to do some tests with Apple Lossless, AAC, and FLAC. prefer lossless or at least super high quality if it's a lossy format). I am not sure what the best format is to use for this purpose I would like to retain as much data as possible (i.e. (This may change to a different system, Roon, Moode, etc., but for the moment I am enjoying Volumio.) I would like the resulting files to be usable in my Apple-centered world, as well as by my Volumio environment I've just set up on Rasberry Pi. I'm finally uploading my CD collection for use at home. I am less clear on how I would run abcde from the Volumio headless App over the network to my Phone or Tablet.I am a brand new user of the personal edition of the software. I think that this would be all the hardware I need as long as the Power Supplies were capable of supplying the current and would be a really elegant solution if I can get it to work. I also have a USB connected 2.5" Disk and can connect both of these to te RPi USB Ports (via a powered USB Hub if necessary. I have a USB DVD Drive (Samsung) which is very low power and easily runs off a USB 2.0 Port. You will need an external DVD/CD drive with its own power supply or - even better! - an internal DVD drive It would be nice to have a ripper which stores the flac files on the same storage device where mpd will immediately find them. I wanted to turn Volumio into a CD Ripper myself, but still had not the time for this.
