Understanding the Differences Between Lossy And Lossless (MP3 And FLAC) Made Easy
Some people deem themselves audiophiles whilst other couldn’t care less. Some people have sensitive ears that will pick up on the faintest crackle whilst others unintentionally share their music through their earphones from such a high volume setting. Either way, there’s not denying that there is a difference in audio quality, whether or not that’s of any importance to you or if you’re happy from just listening to your favourite music track regardless. Some people actually argue that there isn’t any noticeable difference at all, and therefor there is no difference – well there is, and we have the proof. We have data loss images as well as an easy-to-understand explanation of what the difference is between lossy – MP3 type files that looses audio data and quality when ripped from a CD – and lossless – FLAC/WMA type files that has absolutely no loss in audio data and quality when ripped. To find out why you’ve never fully been able to enjoy the sound of your MP3 file, or to simply understand the difference between the two, even if you can’t hear it, follow this link to the overclock.net post, courtesy of retired forum staff member, Murlocke.
