Why should I?
Anyway I live in EU, so I generally
sleep wake up when you go to bed, probably.
Apart for the weekends where I have the tendency to procrastinate sleep a lot.
Guys, James, n00b, grandpa, you know what this conversation about mp3, aptx and sbc remembers me?
The old times of cassette players. I do not even remember well how the thing was, but I remember that there were good cassettes from TDK (TDK!!! Incredible, forgotten name), very high grade, and cheap ones. I always wanted to buy the expensive ones for everything but my father was saying that it was not worth when the source was not good enough or something like that.
Which is like what n00b and grandpa say.
But I was saying that exactly because the source was not so good, I needed a good cassette, or the result would have been the sum of two ****ty things. 1 **** + 1 **** is not 1 **** but 2 ****s.
Which is what I keep saying in this case too, and James too.
Apparently some things never change. And I think there is not reachable agreement on such a thing. It is a matter of points of view.
n00b puts the accent on the dimension/quantity thing, saying that as the flac is bigger than the mp3, it needs a bigger door, and if you have to cut a flac to make it pass through a little door, you will lose more (in proportion) than what you will lose by cutting the mp3, so that the aptx is more needed for a flac (or in other words, it is a bigger pity to cut something big than something small).
James puts the accent on the encoding/quality thing, saying that being the flac much better than a mp3, the final result after all decode and recode processes will be better starting from a flac than from an mp3, so that the aptx is more needed for the mp3.
I think that it may be safe to say that the aptx is ALWAYS better, for mp3 and for flac, for different reasons in each case. In some case better for mp3, in other case better for flac, generally speaking better for everything.
Which is what I was saying since the beginning.
So, I win and you owe me a beer.
