Can one convert purchased mp3 to flac? (Bought off Amazon and played through the app)
CDs and vinyl. But that's because I like classical music and so, to get decent sound quality, I listen via the hi-fi system in my sitting room, rather than poxy ear buds.
Thanks for this. I have to confess I had not previously heard of flac.I sometimes listen to classical too and there really isn't a difference between playing local flac files through (importantly!) a decent hi-fi DAC, and CD. You can even get higher than CD quality flac files (higher sampling rate and/or more bits per sample) although there is some debate about whether anybody can hear the difference (I've never bothered with it).
Is it now standard, or does one need to check carefully whether an on-line source is flac or not?
But actually, thinking about this, I'd need to find a way to connect a laptop to my hi-fi, so that a downloaded flac file would play through the system. All sounds a bit difficult.
I'm not chucking out the hi-fi system - too sentimentally attached to it. I still have the speakers I bought before going up to uni in 1972, and the amp dates from 1979.
I mostly use Spotify, which I pay for. No, I don't really like the idea of streaming because you don't actually 'own' the music; it's even worse than straight up illegal downloads in that regard. But it serves my purposes just fine with its extensive library (more than the other music streaming services, decent algorithm and streaming bitrate. Plus, I can make it sound amazing with the headphones and settings I use.
I have a CD player and CDs reserved for 'hard times'. Lol.
I sometimes listen to radio. I have a local favorite music radio station, too.
You?
I usually use my ears.You?
Local jazz station (WEMU) offers fewerYT as well. Radio more for talk shows although I do listen to find cool new tunes.
