• 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

• I can't hear the difference between a 320 Kb/s mp3 and a 1400 Kb/s flac. Is there any reason to still download flac music?

  I have run all 3 lossless ones through the Lossless Audio Checker to confirm that they are in fact lossless and not upscaled lossy and they all come out clean. For what reason they sound different I'm not sure but they clearly do. I've noticed this on plenty of other tracks and albums.
