The Ghost of an MP3

[Ed Zeppeli]

I stumbled upon this really cool web site experiment.

The author takes the audible information that is lost when converting to MP3 and makes it a separate track. It is truly eerie and also an interesting thesis.

His prime example is Suzanne Vega's Tom's Diner which was apparently a benchmark song in developing the MP3 compression format.

Check it out!

Personally, at 320kbps and up I am satisfied with the sound in most cases. That said, I have been slowly converting all my CDs to FLAC and much prefer it; especially as it seems to gain broader acceptance as a viable sound format amongst manufacturers of playback devices.


Cheers,

Warren

Would say this... Actually, he did some years back...

Have not read your link yet, but it does sound similar to this:
