    You’ve ripped an already degrading file from a cd, it’s already lower quality. You’re arguing that a lossy transfer somehow isn’t lossy…? That’s your argument?

    You need to HAVE the original file, or it’s already not lossless. So when burning cds, there’s already an inherent degrading compared to the original master.

    How are you getting this already perfect file? This seems to be the part people are ignoring. Sure if you have the master, and burned it yourself, it could be the same fidelity as a vinyl. But this situation is never happening unless you have a contact in the recording industry.

    In almost every case, unless you ignore reality, a burnt CD will never the same fidelity…. Since you aren’t dealing with the original file in every case.

    And the music they ripped is what quality…? When you start off without the master files, you’re already at a loss compared to the originals.

    Ripping a bought cd even with”lossless” methods, won’t beat the original printing. That’s just pure fantasy.

    Does it matter for on transfer? Unlikely, but how about what someone did before you downloaded the torrent as well?

    The fidelity of vinyl, is more than a burnt disc. I didn’t think that was an arguable fact.

    Neither is playing a disc. A vinyl has more fidelity than a burnt disc with crappy lossy files. I thought a topic about burning people would understand the basics of file transfers loss, downloading loss, and burning losses. But clearly some people just want to insult people, I thought buddy was asking g a legit question, turned out they wanted to insult someone while not even understanding the basics of the topic at hand.

    Every file transfer creates some noise and loss to the file. Unless you’re using high quality Flac files, which not everyone burning and downloading files are doing so, or it’s already been converted or transferred and incurred corruption.

    If you transfer an mp3 1000 times, it’s gonna degrade. You can’t use hashes to fill in missing audio portions like you can with text or something.

    Every time you transfer a file, there is loss, this isn’t unique to audio files. Your entire comment is wrong. Even downloading a file online won’t create a perfect copy of the audio file because of data loss, even with hashes.

    Making up “Standards”? It’s a principle of burning discs, it’s not lossless like you are falsely claiming it is.

    Vinyl has more fidelity than a BURNT disc, even if you got a hold of the master recording and burnt it your self. It will not be a lossless transfer. Unlike bought cds and vinyl.
