Is there a LOG file?

This is an uncompressed image file .
For the best quality I don't use APE, FLAC, WV ecc...

The image it's only zipped with winrar to reduce final dimension.

I use Copy Disc to Image file with Nero Burning Rom.

Какой Wav,какой LOG? там и куя нет,вероятно,один исошник непожатый-а пожатый потом,оно так видать "качественнее".
Впрочем,и на том спасибо,привести в удобоваримый вид-не проблема.
Если СDDB про него знает...

please, use EAC next time. And I would strongly recommend you to re-rip this CD also. Non-EAC rips (eg CloneCD, Nero, etc) are not tolerated here :hi:

What are you talking about? It's the same thing as compressing a text file into zip, and then decompressing it back again. APE/FLAC/WV is essentially the same thing. if you decompress it, you will get WAV which is 100% identical to the original. Ask anyone, if you don't believe me, go on http://SteveHoffman.tv - the most respected audiophile forum in the world, and ask the same question.

But what surprisess me even more, is that you do not use Exact Audio Copy (EAC). How can you be a true audiophile and not know abou this software? :fear2:

Sure I know EAC but I hear most sound difference with this software than an image file.
I can't believe that you don't hear the difference.

I hear difference between two original CDDA of the same performance.

However, there are no problems, if I will have time I will re-rip this CD using EAC.

Скачал,распаковал,в эмулятор пихнул,в СDDB заглянул,EACом грабанул,на флаки фубаром по кую покромсал.
Стало можно послушать с удобством.
А диск-то очень даже ничего! По содержанию.
Может,верхи резковаты,но пожалуй,я глючу-96/24 перед этим наслушался... :)

Hi Ivano,

The main reason to use EAC (Exact Audio Copy) is because it rips more secure. What EAC does is read every sector (at least) twice and then compares both readouts with each other. If they're the same, the sector is approved and added to the disc image. If not, EAC will read a few more times and then usually it will find a number of readouts which are the same and use this to add to the image file. It will also mention this in the log file, so you can easily search for the sector in question and listen to it, to check it sounds right and has nog spikes or noise.

The reason for the above is that CD and DVD drives in computers are optimized to read in blocks and not continuously like drives found in stand alone CD players. This means there can be faulty readouts at the beginning or end of the sectors.

As for APE (Monkey Audio) or FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Compression), these are compression formats like ZIP or RAR, but only they're optimized to compress WAV files. It's a lossless compression, so no information is lost at all. You can easily check that by compressing a WAV file with FLAC or APE, decompress it and then compare it with the original file. A lot of programs can do this comparison, but since you already have EAC, you can use the file compare utility in the 'Tools' menu. You'll see that every bit of the original file and the file that was compressed are 100% identical.

The reason to use APE or FLAC instead of ZIP or RAR is simply because APE and FLAC files are smaller and this makes it easier for people with a slower internet connection to download the file, but also people with a faster internet connection will benefit from it, as the file will spread much faster, so there are more sources available to download from.

My remarks above are just meant as constructive criticism to improve this forum, not to complain about your contribution. So as a final remark I'd like to say: "Thank you for sharing your music with us" :D:

Do you have covers?
