Where do y'all buy #music , specifically CDs and 16bit flac? Currently I'm using:
a) #Tidal for streaming,
b) #discogs for rare NM+ CDs,
c) amazon?? for mainstream CDs,
d) https://us.7digital.com/ ?? for #FLAC -- purchased downloads.
e) Does anyone use other streaming services, like iDJPool?
f) (I already know how to pirate and how to buy mp3s.)
I'm especially looking for (d) -- alternative sources of FLAC purchases -- because 7digital won't have everything (nothing does).
I really love to see what an application is doing, so #NeoFinder shows you thumbnails in the cataloging progress window.
This now also includes the ID3 cover art of songs!
What a nice #Bluetooth receiver!
I have an 1982 amplifier and obviously it don't have the Bluetooth system, so by adding it, would upgrade my sound system and use for certain playlists I have in my tablet or laptop. I'm interested ! #MusicLover#Mp3#FLAC#DigitalMusic#Esinkin

Un #PC au format tour un peu ancien devrait faire l'affaire. Rapprochez-vous d'une asso de #réemploi près de chez vous par exemple.
Pour ce qui est de la sauvegarde, pas besoin de graver d'autres CD : je vous conseille une conversion directe au format #FLAC. C'est un format #audio compressé, mais non destructif. Autrement dit, un morceau de #musique sauvegardé en FLAC permettra de #graver un #CD audio, si besoin, avec la qualité d'origine.
When we created the initial new database format for CDFinder 3.0 and CDWinder for Windows 1.0 way back in December 2000, we thought that a 16-bit number was sufficient to store the duration in seconds of a song.
Last chance to play these great chiptune beats before #Discord shuts down their publicly accessible CDN. :catjam:
A collection of classic demoscene chiptune beats I remasted in #OpenMPT
I lowered instrument amplitude to remove peaking, increase #DynamicRange and added various VST effects for enhanced stereo. Enjoy :BlobhajHeart:
For the past 20 years I've been occasionally using the fantastic https://soundconverter.org batch audio format converter/transcoder app for #Linux (made with #Python, @GTK and @gstreamer), and it amazes me how it still works so simply and reliably.
I just freed up 10 GB of disk space by converting a bunch of zipped WAV files to #FLAC this morning! (and if those .wav weren't zipped, the difference would've been bigger)
Amazing piece of software 👌️
Merci @kassoulet for maintaining it with sezanzeb!
If you care about building a music library you can listen to for years to come, don't use Spotify, and buck against the trend of exploitative streaming services. Learn about where to get DRM-free audio on our DRM-free living guide: https://u.fsf.org/1lr#EndDRM#BoycottSpotify#Spotify
Wirklich traurig, wie es #Bandcamp gerade nach dem Verkauf an #Songtradr zerlegt (halbe Belegschaft entlassen, Gewerkschaftler*innen traf es überproportional). Das Geschäftsfeld des neuen Besitzers lässt auch nix Gutes für die Zukunft erahnen.
Gibt es irgendeine ethische oder hoffnungsvolle Alternativen am Horizont?
I now have a membership tier on my Ko-fi! Have you always wanted your own #HTML5 based #website? Access to exciting, moving, heart warming poems and short stories? What about 320Kbps #MP3 and #FLAC versions of my ring tones and UI notification sounds? Personal shoutouts and #software reviews? Well, for as little as just over a tenner a month, you'll get all these perks and more when you become a fireseeder!
By becoming a fireseeder, you're not only getting access to awesome benefits like those listed above, but you're helping to support a funny, loving, kind hearted #blind#neurodivergent who loves nothing more than being a technology geek and helping others in any way he can, be it through content creation, tech support, or the simple act of being there for someone in need. https://ko-fi.com/seedythreesixty
If yes, we have something for you! The next #NeoFinder version will be able to catalog metadata of these audio files, including #ID3 tags with #CoverArt, #Lyrics, and more.
Tonight's #soundtrack is by Ryuichi Sakamoto Jaques Morelenbaum, and Judy Kang. The #album is Three.
This #music is #classical in genre but has more in common with #AAA#anime than it would have with any #Bach or #tchaikovsky. It is serene, sweet, and feels like it belongs on the end credits of a '50s noir film with a dominant #femmefatale. And the #flac version? So, so, so deep. The soundscape is luxurious. :care:

Playing #FLAC from #bandcamp downloads and ripped CD's (ongoing project since forever .. ), and mp3 part of #vinyl purchases, on #QuodLibet music player.
@inanedirk Late to the party 😄
Ich habe mal mit dem #ayreon Hashtag gesucht, was sich so tut. Ich baue so langsam Vorfreude für das #Konzert im #September in #Tilburg auf.
Nix besonderes gefunden, aber diese älteren #Bandcamp-Tipps hier. Danke! #Antimatter hatte mir ein Kollege schon mal lose empfohlen und #Ardarith klingt auf den ersten Hör auch gut.
Beide Bands mal mit einem Spontan-Kauf unterstützt und meine #FLAC - Sammlung erweitert.
