I'm not them, but: Oldies tend to compress VERY well, being that they were attenuated for vinyl and radio, and some of them were even mono. I've used the highest-quality Apple AAC VBR setting, which sometimes spits out crazy 350+ kbps on modern stuff, on certain oldies and found they barely needed ~170 kbps.

You need to turn your shit up or close your windows or something.

Nooooo no. CD audio is PCM, 44.1 kHz/16-bit samples, stereo at 1.4 Mbps. DVD audio for video releases can be in straight PCM (rare, mostly concert videos), or Dolby Digital (or DTS, etc) compressed, usually with 48 kHz/16-bit samples, and usually at bitrates between 192 (for stereo mixes—TV shows, secondary tracks,

Let me see if I can paraphrase the summary from the website: Foobar2000 is a lightweight, highly customizable audio player available for many different platforms!

Phish *and Blues Travelers*, thank you very much

Foobar is the only choice for discriminating/knowledgeable users!

Alas, many/most people still can't tell good-bitrate AAC from good-bitrate MP3 from CD in blinded tests.

This season is markedly more…pathological (?) than before. A lot of my laughs get stuck behind a therapist's grimace.

Can somebody tell me if Danny McBride has a satisfying gruesome death in the new Alien? I might actually pay to see that.

Lord, enough with Mikey Day. He looks like he'd be happier hosting an actual kid-aimed game show, and I'd be happier that way too.

If she's funny, there's no evidence of that on 2BG, where she delivers every line in the exact same "Isn't this a SITcom line, folks?!" tone and cadence. Possibly out of boredom, but still.

I got a weal wed wagon!

I don't THINK so!

Not a flop, though.

The hook was "never-aired clips from the terrible 3rd season," it's just misquoted above.

Season's over in a week or two.

Occasional laughs, but for the most part this was like watching a middle school talent show, pitch and performance both. It's like SNL de-aged 15 years in the last 2. Mikey Day makes me pine for the halcyon days of Jason Sudeikis in every random-guy role.

(Conan nerd voice) Storyline problems are writing problems!

I don't even have my own kids, and still can't help from thinking "Those are not 6-year-olds!"

I HATE Donald Trump. That being said, it is impossible to take you seriously when you say the 100 days of his presidency are already more damaging than the 8 years of George W. Bush. Do you remember those years? Do I need to go over them again?
