  • There are tools that are being used to attempt to detect if a piece of work is AI-generated. If those tools say something was, it’s then on you to prove that you hand-created it.

    They don’t work. It’s total bunk.

    Even some artists are already having issues because things “look” AI-generated.

    Exactly. See above. No one can (confidently) tell which is which. There’s just educated guessing.




  • Xiph really won the lossy codec scene with Opus and I transcoded all my junk to that format. Hitting (my personal) transparency on 128k vbr is flat out impressive

    Same here. I’ve left myself a bit of a safety margin at 144k vbr, but having my whole library at transparent quality AND portable size is very convenient.

    Though, now that opus 1.4 is out I feel a bit of anxiety whether i should re-encode everything from flac->opus1.4


  • For context, LDAC is one of the few wireless audio codecs stamped Hi-Res by the Japan Audio Society and its encoder is open source since Android 8

    LDAC is great, but simply stating that the encoder is “open source” is quite misleading (while technically correct). The codec is owned by Sony and heavily licensed. It’s a savvy business move of Sony to make the encoder free to use though, so everyone else can support their standard while charging manufacturers who want to integrate it into their headphones.

    If we want a really free and open high quality codec, we should push for opus support via bluetooth
