Hearing the difference now isn't the reason to encode to FLAC. FLAC uses lossless compression, while MP3 is 'lossy'. What this means is that for each year the MP3 sits on your hard drive, it will lose roughly 12kbps, assuming you have SATA - it's about 15kbps on IDE, but only 7 kbps on SCSI, due to rotational velocidensity. You don't want to know how much worse it is on CD-ROM or other optical media.
I started collecting MP3s in about 2001, and if I try to play any of the tracks I downloaded back then, even the stuff I grabbed at 320kbps, they just sound like crap. The bass is terrible, the midrange...well don't get me started. Some of those albums have degraded down to 32 or even 16kbps. FLAC rips from the same period still sound great, even if they weren't stored correctly, in a cool, dry place. Seriously, stick to FLAC, you may not be able to hear the difference now, but in a year or two, you'll be glad you did.
also it runs in a mixture of oil and fuel
it's very annoying
if you don't mix it well enough you kill your engine
also it smells really bad
Christ is that a lawn mower engine in there?
p. much
don't use hard drive then
also a cvt linked back to bicycle pedals
store music on ssd if you listen often
glorious french engineering
😂
It still looks really nice. very 80s-90s era color scheme
I think it's from 1991
how much are you getting for it?
100EUR
<:benis:239668961011040257>
jesus
nvm
it doesn't run
used to do like 3 years ago
but ye as I said, scooter cvt transmission but with pedals
kek
you pedal to start the engine
I mean, you are very tangentially right.
Why did it die?
I just stopped using it
Oh, that should be an easyish fix .
I just want to get rid of it tbh
for 100EUR it's a good deal for all parties involved
couple years ago with the survivalist meme you could have advertised it as an emp proof moped
this is what it is supposed to look like when new
having anxiety is not fun
but at least I'm not a virgin
like most of you
