• concerns over track quality on soulseek

  Yeah, sure. I use Lossless Audio Checker, which is single threaded but seems to generate fewer false negatives. That is to say it's slow, but doesn't flag genuine lossless files as probable mpegs as much. My biggest beef with LAC is how annoying it is about its log files. It doesn't save them in the folder with the FLACs so I have to manually copy every log file from my Documents folder to the proper location.... Source: about 1 year ago

• Programmatically finding the best quality of a given audio file?

  You can use this to check for artificially inflated bitrate/bitdepth, its fairly accurate, or fbits which can detect exactly how much of the bitdepth is being used. Source: over 1 year ago

• Don't trust those random "hi-res" downloads.

  If you have Windows, the Lossless Audio Checker can tell you in about 2 seconds if a WAV or FLAC file has been upsampled/ upscaled/ transcoded. There is also a CLI version for Mac. Source: over 2 years ago

• I have made a python program that takes a playlist link as an input and downloads the songs for you(more info in comments)

  I read about it about a year ago and recently did some tests using https://losslessaudiochecker.com/ to see for myself. And indeed, some songs 320 or FLAC audio files I sourced from deezer were upscaled. Source: over 2 years ago
