RE: MusicSce sorts 'em all -1

Like I said, I'm not going to say how I would do it. It would only help the crooks and there are some of them in the music business.

Truth in labeling is all about what is claimed. If the product is listed as 176/24 and the format in the files is 176/24 then there have been no untruthful statements, unless there is additional information provided that is contrafactual.

Example: An Accusense Mahler symphony was sold as a 192/24 download. An examination of the spectrum and spectragraph showed brick wall filtering at 48 kz. Some discussions with the record label owner and engineer for this recording showed that the original tracks were made 96/24 and then mixed down on an analog mixing console and captured at various formats. The engineer claimed that the 192/24 capture sounded better than the 96/24 capture. Some years later he got new multi-channel ADCs and did newer recordings at 192/24.

Was I cheated? I think not. Did the recording sound good? Yes.

If you ask too many questions about how sausage is made you won't eat it. The only questions are: Does it taste good? Does it make you sick?
