This thing is amazing! I barely used my phone at all in the morning and all through the afternoon as I went about my business. I got sucked in for the evening onwards, but baby steps.
… I’ll need to download more music, and get a bigger SD card. I’ve already played and replayed every single one of them I had loaded onto my Echo Mini these past 2 days.
It was an eye opener for me :) How did it go for you ?
some time ago I realized just listening to mp3 vs flac that even in a blind test I couldn’t tell anymore. sucks getting old, but, sure means less music storage space with lame v0 or 320…
The smaller files do make life a lot easier.
I’m a classically trained musician and I was a bit of a virtuoso, so I’m trained to hear those differences. Even then, I liked the higher ratio MP3 format, the wav had too much hiss or echo for my liking. I did well on the test, apart from the Katy Perry track, it’s so overproduced! Multiple layers of her own voice, honestly that sounded best in lowest quality, lol.
That is really interesting. Thanks. I did worst on very compressed tracks like that exact same one. The exercise has put me off that kind of music even more :)
