#256Kbps
would you pay $2/month for an unlimited 256kbps cell phone plan that is absolutely functional for text messaging, lets you use maps, and intentionally makes doomscrolling/video painful (but not impossible). and costs $2. and works with whatever cell phone.

like two buck chuck but for cell phones.

AAC typically drops off around like ~14-15.7kHz on android, whereas iPhones can reach near ~18kHz whilst only pushing ~256kbps, in which the audio quality retention is on par with LDAC running at the full 990kbps which uses much more power to decode

~18 minutes after you’ve taken an ambien, you’ll have lost the 11% of inhibitions you needed to shed to email a band & politely offer a weird sum of money for a lossless version of the album that’s been out for months but for sale in only 256kbps.

it says so right on the side of the bottle.

Entré a Internet con Terra ADSL 256kbps de 18:00 a 8:00 y me flipa pensar que en cuanto acabe de configurarse el router tendré 10Gbps por precio de dos pizzas medianas.

if you’re making me go through a major retailer to buy a 256kbps digital copy i never play and i have to go to a third party torrent site to get a lossless rip someone else made i *am* going to do that but i don’t see why the fuck i should have to.

let a bitch who doesn’t stream give you 10 bucks.

256kbps opus on ytm also has louder higher frequencies than when I convert a flac to opus on my own it's very odd

유령을 쫓고 있나요? AAC vs CD 음질의 진실

서론: 끝없는 음질 추구의 함정 오디오 애호가라면 한 번쯤 겪어봤을 고민입니다. "AAC 256kbps와 CD 음질을 정말 구별할 수 있을까?" 마치 유령을 쫓는 것처럼, 실제로는 거의 존재하지 않는 차이를 찾기 위해 수많은 시간과 돈을 투자하게 됩니다. 온라인 포럼에는 "확실히 차이가 난다"는 주장들로 가득합니다. 수십만 원짜리 DAC를 구매하고, 하이레스 음원에 월 수만 원을 지출하며, "황금귀"를 가졌다고 자부하는 사람들의 이야기가 넘쳐납니다. 하지만 과연 이것이…

the problem with half the music I want to play is that I can rip it from a YouTube video uploaded 13 years ago or I have to fight tooth and nail to find a 256kbps rip on soul seek or some obscure corner. this does not include the bargaining for the person to unprivate that track
