Do I need to replace my downloaded version with the CD version when it is released?
Advice welcomed!
I hear a relatively large amount of distortion scattered throughout the tracks even with the 320 kbps version. I really hope that the cd will take care of that.
Ok, I have to ask. Where? Can you give me a track and time so I can listen for what you call "distortion"? Thanks.
Thanks for the info, I'm gonna download it.the best by a mile is the newly released VBR CD Scene Rip.
I guess we'll have to wait until we have the actual CD on our hands to decide this and we have heard it. I can hear the distortion on some tracks, but I'm afraid it is not the type of defects caused by mp3 compressing, it could be the actual mastering in these days. Unfortunately, distortion on CDs is becoming more and more common these days, with the loudness war. Hopefully I am wrong but I wouldn't be surprised if the CD sounds just as bad as the leaked mp3s
Mark my words; the CD will have the same compression / clipping issues as the mp3s that we currently have.
