This one is actually from that 15 disc set we've talked about previously. I never noticed the difference before your post just now - I had to go and check my copy! _________________

BudFox,
I believe those FLAC files you downloaded are sourced from the original EOPE CD release. That means the original album files sounded the best to your ears then? |

Hello Funky Vibes :
Yes.. download the complete torrent discography which contains FLAC libraries too....
That's the best quality.

Hi Andrew
Yes...these CD is also from the "Australian Selection" as you said, these 15 CD selection.
See your collection..and put pictures If you find...
If you have unseen releases, send me pictures to upload submissions to Discogs.
That is good in this topic. We put here pictures from interesting releases...
and other members search our collection...maybe that is a treasure in your collection, what you never mind before |

If your FLACs are transcode from mp3s, quality will be shitty regardless of the lossless compression codec. FLAC in itself doesn't mean quality.
Do you know the lineage ? Are you sure your FLACs are sourced from original CDs ? That's the question. |

Hello
No...I don't know from sources... Hmm...
Maybe try to download the complete discography, and compare the quality...
I can not add much to look at the source of the FLAC -s |

True. BudFox if they contain log files to show their rip method it's pretty easy to verify the quality. Take it a step further and look at the file in audacity to make sure the frequency isn't prematurely cut off. |

Cool. You'll want to click on the black down-pointed arrow (or triangle) by the name of the song file and select spectrogram.
After it loads, you'll want to right click on the area to the immediate left of the graph, where the Hz are listed (2k, 5k, 8k, etc) and click until it's zoomed out all the way.
If the spectrogram analysis shows the frequencies go above the 22khz threshold then you most likely have a legit FLAC rip of the music. If it maxes out below that then you likely have a lossy rip.
EDIT: Also a good article on analyzing the file types: https://www.kjetilbm.net/blogg/buying-music-from-cd-baby-and-what-format-to-choose/ |

Sadly...If I can see...22k is the top of the frequencies...
So not a true FLAC.
I Try to get a better FLAC..
I have a very good FLAC on my computer.
Dave Brubeck - Take Five (241 Mb FLAC )
It has 88 K hz
If anybody didn't know this track, just hear it..
you must hear it....True Jazz.

It seems to be a real FLAC, it touches the 22kHz mark. Also, have in mind that this rule that it HAVE to pass 22kHz is not true. There are limitations in the CD standard(Red Book) that make it impossible to hold any freq above 22kHz.
This "rule" is used because MP3s have a default cutoff frequency at 20kHz(no mp3 have any freq above it) so it's generally a good indicator when a FLAC have anything above that. But even though it's not a certainty, you really need log files.
This other file that you have is what is considered "hi-res", but in reality 99% of the freqs above 30kHz are white noise, so not they're not music really.
If you want to know more, here is a good article:https://interview.passtheheadphones.me/spectrals.shtml |

While you're talking about TYTD, you might be interested in looking at this one:
Same as the normal Australian release, except they forgot to print the info on the label!
