What quality is the stream anyway???

It sounds like a shitty 192k/bit to me....

if so a big to that shit.


give us 256k/bit at least. If it is I apologize... but if not WTF!

it sounds it... fucking stupid shit. What is this.... 1998??

Do you want your album to sound crappy to thousands of people on first listen?

yeah, pretty stupid. I don't quite like these streaming things either cause they are always shity, but all we can do is decline the offer to hear it until the proper version comes arround.

It's 128 or 160. I think the Matador BEGN FAQ lists fulls streams at 128

Why not?
He has made a valid point here.
Why would someone like to listen for the first time, a new record, at 128 Kbps when a CD and 12" version will come arround.

Maybe in the near future we won't have a CD or 12" version and just a 128 Kbps steam. Would that be great, even if the album is shity?

It's 128. It sounds fine. 256? Why not make it 320? That way you can "hear" frequencies that only a dog's ears can normally detect!!

But seriously, they probably made the stream a lower bit rate so it'd be easier to, um, stream. You know, since the file sizes are small.

Haha okay then. Sorry the "stream" isn't satisfying to you.

Get a better sound system. The quality difference between 128 and 320 is a lot less noticeable with good speakers IMO.

You are an idiot if you believe that. With good speakers the obvious lack of sound quality on this stream should smack you in the face like a mad pimp.

If it is Matador's fault: you are not understanding the digital world sufficiently.

256k/bit is the lowest acceptable digital format at this point in history.

fuck... *bangs head against wall*


YOU ARE FUCKING SHOOTING SY IN THE FOOT!!!!!

It doesn't sound like straight-up 128 to me, more like 128 VBR. A straight 128 rip would have all kinds of audio sprites (or whatever they're called) and the stream doesn't.

The cymbals sound like compressed garbage. The bass sounds thin/weak. Even the fucking mid's aren't right.

Disgraceful from an audio standpoint.

No no no

On lower quality systems the difference between low quality and high quality recordings is much more apparent, because low quality recordings tend to distort on such systems.

But then again I have high quality speakers and a nice amp with a 7 band EQ that I have tweaked to a nice mid-boost that makes virtually everything I listen to sound good.

Anyways. . . do you remember these?

I'll have it in FLAC and on Vinyl soon enough. I can enjoy the music at whatever quality I listen to if it's good music.

Low-bitrate=whet appetite. Chrissake's we're hearing the album almost 2 months in advance.
High-bitrate= "Oh I've got this lossless or 320 stream, I can just line-in/line-out it to record, then either cancel my preorder or sell it for $$$ when it gets here because I already have what I need...a nice rip."
