Hey Mark, A valid concern as far as quality and continuity goes. I also don't see the point in using MP3 or M4A or any other compressed file type. However speaking just from my own point of view I can't see any advantage to FLAC over AIFF other than disc space. You won't experience any loss of quality converting AIFF / WAV into FLAC. Morphy
Hi List, This is a great project and i have many flac files that id like to contribute. My real concern is who is going to... and how this is going to be organised? And if it is meant to be a lossless highest quality archive should we not adopt the flac standard? Flac give exact audio copy - cloned reproduction... its free and is the new industry standand for music. We are seeing uploads with apple, aiff,mp3,m4a,wav etc.. not really ideal. Flac is very much the standard now for lossless, most online music shops use it too... even the beatles released in it. Then from flac people can convert to whatever they like... wav if need be.... Just concerened we may lose focus and end up rather a jumbled mess... And just to be clear... its no good converting mp3 to flac.... it needs to be lossless from the start. Just thoughts...
Keep up the good work all!
Mark.
