then some people use youtube videos as their sources and then upload to youtube again, what's happen to the video or audio at that point is anyone's guess, but depending on the lossy formats bitrates it wont take many rounds of that before you start hearing artifacts. Now this is original uploads we're talking about. It would also be a bad utilization of bandwidth. going from low bitrate to a higher would be silly and potentially degrade the audio.

One thing I feel somewhat confident about is that Youtube most likely does not upconvert anything. Search the net and see if you find any info about their process. It is also possible that Youtube do keep the original uploads if they are within certain desired parameters of their automation system. If I where to take a wild guess I'd say that Youtube (for both audio and video) uses a intermediary format to store a 'master', this may or may not be lossy or very high bitrate lossless. Supported reading a MPEG-4 chapter as a track list Fixed a problem when getting metadata from specific MusicBrainz URL Fixed a problem when the null character is included in text tags Updated LAME to version 3.99.So, although the higher bitrate of the new file, I think the old file have better quality because it is more original/less modified'.Īlso, a spectrum analysis might reveal a few things without the need for a BX test. Chapter is supported in Apple's apps like iTunes or QuickTime. Supported embedding track list as a MPEG-4 chapter Available for ALAC/AAC encoding when ripping disc as a single file. Supported reading a MPEG-4 chapter as a track list Fixed a problem when getting metadata from specific MusicBrainz URL Fixed a problem when the null character is included in text tags Updated LAME to version 3.99.4 Changes X Lossless Decoder is an efficient and highly flexible decoder allowing you to turn all the major lossless audio formats into MP3 and more. It would be better if X Lossless Decoder launched automatically when detecting a CD but it's no major drawback.

The lack of a GUI is a bit strange but when encoding from a CD, select 'File' and 'Open Audio CD' and you'll see your track listing. For the technicians out there, X Lossless Decoder uses not a front-end decoder but a library to decode so no intermediate files are generated. X Lossless Decoder provides support for CUE sheet which can extract and split files.
