looks pretty minidiscy to me. could you zoom in just a little closer on the spectrum? (maybe on 1.5 seconds instead of the ~2.4 second range you used)

this is lossy and I agree does look MD. what show is this?

[spontabmark]

ok here it is, forgot to say its from '88. there is a 2CD and 1CD (chopped down to fit) version and they both supposebly look like this and every major trader i know's copy supposebly looks like this

Yea indeed MD. wtf is with all these MD-compressed old shows? I must've been severely underestimating the importance of MD as a music storage medium during the 90s.. :wtf:

[spontabmark]

lol thanks. i guess an original lossless copy mustn't be in circulation much or at all.

when is the earliest that there will be actual MD taped shows for?

I think it was first released late '92 and started catching on in '94-'95... correct me if I'm wrong here...

[spontabmark]

ok the 1 disc version is 100% mp3, and i just realsied that discs 2 of this version is mp3 on mine and the other people's but disc one is like the shown analysis :wtf: oh well. thanks for help :)

[ssamadhi97]

:wtf: indeed

Minidisc was launched Winter '92 I believe...

I'm also amazed that so many people were archiving their old shows on MD....

When will we start to see flacs of shows that were MP3's then archived to MD? :rolleyes: DAT>WAV>MP3>MD>WAV>FLAC - ooohhh..that will be niiiiice....

lol

In case anybody's reading this and doesn't understand, MiniDisc is acceptable as a recording source but should never be used for archiving purposes. "MD" in the middle of a lineage is not cool.

e.g.
MD > FLAC = okay

DAT > MD > FLAC = not okay!
