I know nothing about the lineage or source before d/load.




das lawsy as hey'ell !!


once lossy, always lossy. You cannot put back discarded data.

If you 'convert' to FLAC or WAV, you are simply resampling the now-lossy audio with no extra compression. It's still lossy, but now it's bloated. There is no reason, ever, to do that.


Trash is trash, man. Sorry for your loss(y).
