Interesting.
At least most people don't call 128 kbps (no VBR) mp3's "CD quality" anymore.
I also just checked and found that eMusic files are generally 240 kbps VBR mp3's these days. (I get most of my music now from eMusic and the iTunes store.)
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The thing about FLAC (or ALAC if you're in the Apple camp) isn't that it sounds better but that it maintains exactly the same bits as came off the CD. That way you can re-compress it using MP3 or AAC or super-whizzy holographic future format to put on your devices.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister is looking to record clinical interviews. They will all be indoor, and she won't be adding her own lighting. She doesn't have a tripod, but considers that she might need one.
Is this the right direction: [link] ?
She'd be storing not more than an hour's worth of video before transferring it to a computer.

Hey. New board.
super-whizzy holographic future format to put on your devices.
Well, this assumes that super-whizzy holographic future formats won't expect a better-than-CD-input (like SACD, for example). But, yes. It's an awesome archival format.

So, I have a technology question.
A bunch of friends from all over the world is looking for an online space where we can 1. chat, 2. listen to music together, and 3. do it for free. Places such as Spotify and Turntable are closed for non-U.S. folks.
Any ideas, or suggestions?

If they do I guess it won't matter what format you stored your ripped CDs in.

Any ideas, or suggestions?
Here's a bunch of turntable.fm clones. No idea if any work internationally or how good they are: [link]

Thanks! I'll examine the options.
Edit: plug.dj works fantastic. Thanks again!
