a really simplified explanation might be somethign like this:

a cd contains all the information of a song and all that information is going to be represented by these numbers:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

now when you make an MP3 of the cd a program will make the decision that perhaps 4, 7, and 8 were unimportant data and dropped them in order to compress the file size. so the resultant mp3 is now:
1 2 3 5 6 9 10

the decision to remove 4, 7 and 8 was decided by the particular method by which the CD was ripped into mp3. there are a lot of methods programs use. Perhaps, alternatively, another method decided that 2, 4, and 5 are unimportant data and can drop them from the original in order to compress the MP3 from the cd. If you ran the already encoded MP3 you would be starting with the compressed data and compressing it further than any of the singular methods intended.

1 2 3 5 6 9 10 might become:

1 3 6 9 10

now instead of dropping just a few pieces of data here and there, you've got only half of the information of the original sounding CD. ergo, it sounds shitty.

hm. weird.
why do they insist on doing that, then?
i always hear "anybody have this non-trans" and then green flips gets his balls murdered, and so on.

that is transcoding. the second encoding is a transcode of an encoded mp3. they want the opposite

we posted at the same time and now i'm reconfused.

oh wait, i think i got it

for the record, I am dumber for reading all this.


also, I ate a crayon.

Silverchair - Young Modern

h||p://www.mediafire.com/?5mxbe3ebdek

Surprisingly great record by a band I didn't care about.

hahaha Hmmm... I AM intrigued!

I will download this Silverchair... because when they released their first album and it sucked, I said that someday they'd probably release a great one when they weren't goddamn childrens anymore.

Let me know your thoughts on it, Gonzo. Pickle tends to be a bit....hyperbolic sometimes. We don't always see eye to eye.

It's a good album.

Their last three have been good and I detested the ones before then.

This one is essentially a psychedelic pop album. The lyrics often make no sense at all but the melodies are great.

Lyrics are for pussies.

I'm not sober enough to judge what I'm listening too at the moment. I'd have never guessed this was them, though.

Does anybody have any Album Leaf they could upload?

That's 'cause you're normally busy suckin' my dick.

Anyway, how was my statement at all hyperbolic?
