*ahem* you know I know la, not everyone can afford those SACD, don't tell me poor guy have to listen to poor quality?
Which is why the digital is so talk-about nowadays, Foobar even support 32-bit encoding (24-bit not enough??????)
But of course if I can afford it, I wouldn't mind spend on SACD equipment, may cost up to 10k for entry...

copying music for yourself is legal, but copying and sharing with other people is illegal.

Some (FLAC) get from chinese forum and some bought from YesAsia and rip to AIFF then transfer to my iPod.

And for how big, mostly I'm listening Korean songs only.

i'm also support the Korean singer, so bought their albums too. Usually I buy their albums for my own collection.

Lossless which I download from Chinese forums, the best if you know Chinese language because China market is spread widely in nowaday. They share everything widely throughout the Chinese forums, Chinese websites and Chinese blogs.

Oppa Gangnam Style FLAC lossless, download from a Chinese forum.

Some are rip directly from an original CD, 100% pure CD quality AIFF format (AIFF is CD quality but not a lossless quality).

AIFF is an uncompressed audio format

while, FLAC is a compressed lossless audio format

You can rip them to WAV, AIFF .. uncompressed format. But the files sizes compromises your HDD or storage availability.

tips of the day:

.flac music files doesnt mean superior sound quality if you download it pirate. Even if you bought original songs in itunes, it'll be sound much better than the cap ayam .flac

something like a music quality matching, it compares your disc to the internet average which is the best, and rips it with corrections
