Flac files is not a standard format.

I'll just stick with MP3 using 320 kbps 48 Khz, or MP2 384 48 Khz for mixes and keep the Wav/Aiff files for singles.

Yes, but FLAC files have non-lossy compression, meaning you can send a .wav as a FLAC in half the time cos it's half the size, yet still keep wav quality

Yes, but how many CDJ's do you see that can use flac?

nope, mp3 can go over 320, it's just that early on when mp3 was new they didn't really see the meaning to go over 320, so the frontends to the codecs was only had to 320

You'd burn it to .wav anyways.

I hear what you are saying. But, the benefit of using MP3, MP2, Wav, & AIFF is having no requirement to resort to add-ons.

Not everyone is familiar with Flac. Many will delete the file quicker than researching how to get it to work.

Id quicker send a Wav/Aiff files than resort to formats that the user may not know what it is.

Its a matter having the users double clicking on the icon and hear music. Not having them receive an error on their screen.

These are the limits for these two file formats, yes. Lame allows a higher bitrate but this "free bitrate" is very special and can only be decoded with the lame engine...


The file you uploaded "Esperanza remix" is actually a 213kbps VBR mp3 file encoded with Lame 3.90.3. Nowhere "470kbps"!!!

Thanks Ojay.
