I have read lot about how "Flac" is the next best thing and Mp3's are the worst when it comes to audio quality.
I tried to explain my best to what happens to the files when you convert from one format to another.
Hopefully this helps all casual audiophiles to visually see the differences.
Thanks for watching.

We have all read about how "Flac" format is the next best thing and how "Mp3" are the worst when it comes to audio quality.
I tried to explain my best to what happens to the files and the data when you convert from one format to another. Hopefully this helps all casual audiophiles to visually see the differences between the file formats.
Thanks for watching.

Now im clear.. Thanks a lot.

Nice informative review. What about variable mp3 bitrate vs constant 320?
Mark Wawrzyniak
I believe humans can hear up to 17 - 18 Khz, do we care if anything is being cut above 20Khz?

Good job, cowboy! ????

I think this was very well explained! The visuals were particularly helpful in understanding the difference !

great video.

Excellent presentation. Thank you.

Still an average music listener can't hear that difference between WAW/FLAC and MP3 320kbps. I understand all that frequency graph thing, but I also understand that if I have 100Gb of mp3's starting from as early as year 1998 when best possible quality available was 128kbps up to today with 320kbps and to think that it could be instead about 400-500 Gb... no external device, as phone/tablet or car's USB capable stereo with USB sticks could ever manage this amount of data. So one thing left is to start leaving out files and that's not an option. MP3 will still rule the music file area.

Its a best possible explanation of different formats. It really cleared my doubts. Thank you sir.

Good explanation, thanks :)

There is an app for mac only though, that detects if wav or flac or any file with audio, were previously re-encoded!! It is called "True Audio Quality" https://apps.apple.com/gr/app/true-audio-quality/id1503844197

thanks bro.

vorbis 500kbps is like flac

I like FLAC because detail

I took the challenge and did the test myself with songs I knew well and I never heard a difference until I got to ~128kbps MP3 (LAME -V4). I generally listen to LAME -V0 files on my portables (which is ~256kbps). It allows me to store more music because the files are smaller than lossless and really this is above the point of transparency for me. I "think" I could still hear degradation at LAME -V2 (~192kbps) but I could not reliably reproduce it. That's not surprising because in most of the test results I read, that's supposed to be the point where people are fooled. You can look at all these different scopes that show frequency cutoff but really you should use your ears. You won't hear it without quality gear and being trained on what to listen for. It's not so obvious until you really cut the bitrate down. The LAME encoder is a lot better than some of the old MP3 encoders that were out when Napster was big. It pays to rip all your CDs to lossless for backup, but for listening I found LAME -V2 MP3 to be good enough.

Can you covert mp3 to flac?

First time i noticed this was a ouople of years back when a youtube channel of a series i watch posted a christmas album and i downloaded my favorite of the bunch, then they released the album digitally and i obtained it and it was FLAC.
I noticed the changes when playing the songs randomly it put the mp version first and the flac after.

thanks bro

thanks very much keep going

haha the mp3 is got chop

When I convert a proper FLAC to a 320 mp3 (best preset) with audacity, the spectrum analysis shows a max frequency of 18khz instead of the 20Khz that should be expected...any ideas or tips for better converters?
Thanks

What software u used

Having just downloaded 'Spec', I am new to this analysis of audio. How do I interpret the images? It starts in yellow at the botton, then turns to green, then to blue. The BLUE area is the one that has me most intrigued. I have examined a number of audios from various sources in my collection - some mp3, some flac, as well as WAV. How do I determine the exact cut-off point of a song? Should I only determine that point from the green area of the song? I notice a lot of the peaks (or spikes) gradually disappear when they extend into the blue area.

spot on thankyou sir explained it to my mate perfectly apprececiate

This was great! Thank you!!

What´s bad about this video, you start with .wav, that´s allready an other format. Either rip every format of the cd by itself or rip in RAW an go from there, this way it´s not conciderable!

Thanks for this great information!????❤️

found this video very helpful ????????

Thank you very much i looked all the day for some clear explaination now i got it.

Great explanation.

But humans do not hear frequencies above 20kHz, this would mean that a human cannot distinguish between FLAC and mp3 320 bitrate

Storage is cheap these days, Flac the only way to go!
