Thanks so much I can't wait to hear this!

FLAC is 100% lossless. That is, there is no information loss. Converting a file from WAV to FLAC and back to WAV will result in a completely identical (try it and SHA-1 or MD5 or CRC32 it) file, so long as you don't add ID3 tags or the like. There is absolutely no change whatsoever.

I don't think you quite grasp what FLAC is about or indeed have much knowledge about 'audio quality' as a general principle.

I know you're right, but to be honest I cannot hear the difference between wav and mp3 with a bitrate of 320 kbps...

Downloaded at 500Kb/s in 10 minutes. What a fantastic way to start today.

Unfortunately my upload speed is not as impressive. I'm not very well versed in the finer details of uTorrent.
Isn't that Denis.Stalker tracker supposed to be dubious? There seems to be alot of peeps using Torrent who think it's slightly nefarious. Would be pretty funny if the final nail in my download coffin was something the owner put out there theselves. Heh heh heh.

Thanks a million for the freebie Devster. I will seed for as long as there's a need for it.

Ew!.... That sounds kinda kinky...

I love torrent technology, it's very convenient. It's just that if you go to college, and your internet is on their network, some places are cracking down. Torrents simply will not budge on this network.

So thanks to those who posted it!

Man, Dev. When you give us stuff like this and the Infinity demo and say it's unmastered, it's shocking to me.

Yes FLAC is very good and while not completely lossless it is losslessy. When you compress the file to FLAC you partially damage the file. When yopu play back the FLAC file you essentially are playing the same wav file back but it's not perfect.With a good set of monitors and a good ear you can easily hear the difference.

Try recording a flack file in Wavelab then the same wav file and compare the difference when you stretch out the wav. Not completely identical same are they. FLAC is very good and I use it myself and is often said to be identical to wav. It's close but not identical.

Please feel free to flame me some more.
