Re: lossless format

Mike


Let me see if I can show a little more RESPECT for you as you seem to
have for others, I realize you are madly in LOVE with yourself, but just what
is STRAWMAN? TROLL LIKE? Wasting your time? My God I have wasted my time on a
person who has an Uneducated Music ear, Zero Knowledge about sound, and wants
to impress people by putting dabs of knowledge with Tons Of B.S.
Here in the States yoi8u are referred to as a B.S. Artist. If you can't
defend with better facts and less Generalizations and can not help yourself
from getting into silly bashinggames, YOU are the one wo wis wasting people's
time.
I have no doubt I have probably forgotten more about sound reproduction
and preservation than you know, think you know or will know.

Good Day
I was hoping I could learn something from you, I DID NOT...... You are NOT
even close to be someone who could teach your answers lacked substance and
definations and were at BEST Generalizations.

A poor analogy and poor understanding.

If you are copying a JPEG (a compressed format like MP3) it does not
generate. A TIF (which is a container file which contain JPEG images)
likewise.


WMA may be an ok file, WAV is the survivor and the format that is most
widely used. It sounds like you have a good knowledge of these files, and I
will admit I am an Old Analog supporter. I do not have 3000 CDs but I do have
4000 songs in wav format on my 250 g HD and have about 100 gig left. I clean
these files, I edit them and I try to keep them as close to the best that
digitial can keep them. I do it only for my Car Audio for when I am home it
is Vinyl. I would much rather use VHS HiFi which has a equivilant of 275 ips
and the S/N is well over 100 DBs, but lineaer Recording is a pain. I do have
over 100 VHS tapes that have much of my Vinyl backed up and I have a lot of
Acoustic such as Bluegrass and digitial destroys the harmonics. The Turntable
is still around and I can still buy Cartridges for it, but the ability of
Mass storeage for backup has chnaged to a format I do not really favor
regardless.
You defend WMA and you are Happy with it, I never accused you have MP3,

No, you keep using the MP3 comparison for your argument even though I
said it was a lossy format. That is a classic straw-man argument.

I
only referred to that as that is what the Masses are leaning towards and they
all must be absolutely TONE DEAF and have no clue what a critical ear is. I
will defend WAV and as Chuck said, he wants quality, I would also say that
WAV is far more supported with NON WINDOWS BASED PLAYERS than WMA, and if you
have to go thru the EXTRA step of conversion to play it on other machines,
and storage is NOT the issue, than why not eliminate the need for that extra
step and record it in WAV?

You keep neglecting to read what I say, and present something different.
So I am not going to respond after this as you are showing troll-like
behaviour. It may not be intentional on your side, but it wastes my time
and that of anyone who reads the thread.
