Not asshole-y at all, I'm real grateful and learning a lot today! :) I have never really even thought about these things.
I haven't really listened to my songs in FLAC, but the MP3 already sounds very, very good and it takes such a tiny space, so it could be enough for me. For now..?
Thanks to you too! This seems to be a combination of so many factors, but the most important thing is that my tunes are banging. :) I didn't plan on learning this much today hah!
Yeah, I was suspecting some "normalization" trickery from the streaming services.. I absolutely wouldn't have noticed this if I had just continued using them.
Nice to know other couples spend quality time the same way we do! :)
I am absolutely listening more carefully for the whole album, and the collection is very carefully hand-picked so I have tunes for all weathers.. While streaming I would just put on something, maybe change into whole another genre in the middle of listening to another album. This does make me more appreciative for what I happen to be listening to, as I only have a limited number or albums.. You're probably right!
// EDIT; I gotta look into re-ripping my CDs, feels like a bigger job than it is in reality. I'll leave that for some rainy day!
I "chose" MP3 because I had my old MP3 Walkman around and wanted to quickly test if I could have a few songs on that stick. Then the test grew into a bigger project and now I'm here with a about 20 hours of MP3 form music. So no real reason, just a quick, thoughtless decision while goofing around. :D
Thank you! I did some searching and it could be because of this. I have used YouTube music most recently and it has, depending a bit on the source and the app and the settings, "only" 256 kbps at best so I guess that could be it. Weird if 64 bits make that big difference! Maybe I am an audiophile, or at least turning into one.
Trust me, the level of elder care in my country, that's the least of my worries. I also don't want to burn into a crisp inside an electric car that won't open it's doors once it sets on fire.
I'll deal and keep fixing my 2001 lil Japanese car until it really gives up. I might even get a whole "new" motor in. If after all that it's imposible to buy another old, pre-2000 car, I won't bother. Fuck them. The lights are too bright and unsafe, the screens are unsafe and now these cameras and all? Ew. If you can't fix it yourself in your garage with basic tools and some beer, you don't own the thing.
I told the guy present during my test that I'd love to bite the pencil, stab the questionaire with it and then shred the papers and form them into tiny balls to throw at him. He took some notes.
I have worked for the town/municipality so it has been chill - not just with heat but well with everything, nothing ever happens instantly. And my country has tight safety laws, if it's hotter than X, you get this many minutes of extra break within an hour. If it gets even hotter, more breaks and so on. I have never had any issues with this and often my bosses have brought us free water bottles or even ice cream. Boosts morale a lot. I'm real grateful for this, I have heard very different stories too from local companies.. How about yours?
Been there, been there.. I didn't even know how sensitive to light my eyes were before I finally got my first ever sunglasses. So I absolutely understand, healthy or not. We all just try our best within our limits.
Uh-huh, uh-huh, taking some notes..
