I contend that it's not really all that bad. The only people making money on CD sales are the people decrying them-music industry suits. Artists get paid shit all for selling CDs, most of the time they have to sell 100,000 to break even on a major label contract.
Awareness is being raised among musicians and there is change within the industry, but it's been like this for at least 4 decades, those fat cats don't offer to change their money-making formula so easy. Digital downloading I'd have to do a little more research on the money distribution, but I don't download stuff from the internets anyway, "illegal" or not.
So you can stand by your beliefs, I respect that. Just educating.
As to your original question, yeah flac is pretty commonly used to convert music. If you do some research, look for lossless audio formats, and see if you can see their
sample rates and bit rates. Sample rate you want at least 44.1 kHz for CD quality standard (that's the standard analog to digital conversion rate in professional studios, although with new technologies, they might change that one day which would be pretty interesting). Bit rate you want at least 128 kbit per second (CD quality), I don't know if they do 192 kbit/s but that would be better. I record digitally at 44.1 and 192, so anything less would be considered lossy (although I've only done amateur, home studio stuff so that's not saying very much).
Eat a bag of dicks; I'm no hipster (or at least I try not to be).
well it doesn't even have to appear mysteriously really, could appear normally as well. until then, hasta. panther power! 2pac out
