You keep talking about making an mp3 of a MiniDisc recording. Right, that will introduce loss, but when you record direct to MD, you've already lost a TON of data.

LOL. you really want to flog a dead horse, don't you?

Picture this. There is only one recording being made of a show. Only one - by a neat little chap wearing a 'Korn' hoodie. He's armed with a Sony MD recorder, which is a shame, because his recording nis going to be basically a hi bitrate mp3 recording. However, he's our hero, because at this show, Sting gets angry at some punters who decide to throw baby powder bombs at him and start chanting 'baby, baby, Sting's a great big baby'. We read about it but so far no recordings surface... until Korn Hoodies MD recording is FLACC'ed up to dime!

We've gained a recording of the most infamous recording on the 2008 tour leg! As no other recording has been made that we know of, we have GAINED a recording!

Where the hell does LOSING DATA come into this scenario, Dead Horse Flogger? If an MD recording is all that surfaces, it's a show gained. Better a hi-bitrate 'mp3' recording than nothing, Dead Horse Flogger.

It's only when someone REENCODES the show to mp3 again from it's lossless archive format that we suffer data loss. Or, alternatively, you could consider it an example of data loss in itself if another recording surfaces from the same show, which someone makes from a lossless WAV recording device.

Horse is dead. You wanna drop the whip now, or see if you can flip the eyeballs out of its skull.....?

I thought it came into the scenario right about here...

[quote]What do you think happens to a recording - ANY - recording, whether it was recorded with a tape deck, lossless wav recorder, ipod mp3 recorder or a fucking wax cylinder, when it gets converted from its WAV archive origins to mp3? What happens, my friend? What gets introduced?[/quote]

I think you were the one to bring it up, actually.

sigh. so now all you've got left is the odd smart comment and the ability to quote single phrases out of context?

Lame-o. I'll leave ya to it.

Sure thing, TJ. Just seems to me that, earlier in this very thread, you got all bent out of shape because you thought someone was ruining a bootleg by turning it into an mp3. You got pretty upset about it. You mentioned lossy compression a lot.

Now you're all about how any bootleg is better than none.

You've lost the plot and the point. I don't think you actually read my last post. Anyway, this is a tired subject now. I'd like to get back to just enjoying the ride. Life is too short.

Back to the show....

Dietmar was right - the LA show sounds awesome!
