[QUOTE="FragoulisNaval, post: 1058152624, member: 19481"] To mp3 έγινε industry standard διότι ήταν ένας παρα πολύ καλός τρόπος να μειώσουμε το μέγεθοπς των αρχείων ήχου σε μια εποχή που οι ταχύτητες τοπυ Internet ήταν εκτρωματικά μικρες. Και έγινε standard διότι πολλοί χρήστες το χρησημοποιούσαν ήδη πολύ πριν οι εταιρείες να το ανακαλύψουν. Δεν έχω κανένα πρόβλημα με καμία εταιρεία. Ας βγάζουν ότι θέλουν. Δεν θέλουν όμως να μας κοροιδεύουν, γιατί αυτό κάνουν. To MQA είναι ακριβώς ότι και το mp3, ένα απωλεστικό φορμά που μειώνει το μέγεθος μεγάλων αρχείων ήχου. ΔΕΝ ΕΙΝΑΙ hirez. “High-resolution music requires that the original source recording be up to the definition of the format. Even if you take their highly watered down version, most of the catalog of WB (or any other label…with a few exceptions) will never qualify as high-resolution, because it is not in the first place. And getting old analog masters in master quality is what HDtracks and the other services are already doing.
