I would assume that the major (legal) use of this kind of service would be to promote your own songs, by having them pressed to vinyl. You would also be able to play your own tunes in a club without having the shame of having to use a CDR (it's a difference of opinion whether using CDRs is shameful in a club  )..
Here's my point.. From the website:
If you are going to be hammering out your own tunes like nothing at clubs after your very own vinyl has been made (and I'm sure you would), then it would be an incredibly bad idea to have your vinyl pressed from such a format as MP3. It is common knowledge (or damn well should be) that MP3 files lose a lot of low-frequency notes (to drive subwoofers effectively) as well as high-frequency notes.
For anybody who knows enough about audio, limiting their customers to only using MP3 cannot be a good move. Whatever happened to such immensely superior formats as Ogg Vorbis and even FLAC.
For a site that insists you upload your files, they do warn "In order to achieve the best sound quality your MP3 should preferebly have a high bit rate (High Quality)", but it only makes sense to use a format that gives you the best sound quality per bit, and that's not MP3 for sure.
Damn, I sound cocky.. |
actually low end frequencies are cut very very little. and APX is pretty much as good as it gets, ogg is still an experimental codec, you really get nailed on high end freqs for mp3 and ogg.. anyhoo lame -APX is as good as cd quality (i realize vinyl is analog bla bla bla, but by the time the record has been cut i can guarentee you the song has already been ran through a DAC at least once, therefore deflowering it of it's 'analog' qualities (or percieved qualities)) as far as the human ear is concerned.. it will sound fine over any system. but shame on people ripping tunes to vinyl that aren't theirs :-/
