If you want I could post some screenshots in the weekend (I'm at work now  ). I will post the link for now: http://www.purelivegigs.com/forums/s...ead.php?t=1574 |
The "[Live] (from MPEG@192kbps)" is being displayed because that text is part of the filenames - there is no magic going on.
It could mean that it was a digital radio or digital TV broadcast - i.e. MPEG-1, Layer II (MP2) "lossy" compression @ 192kbps. Or from a DVD authored with MPEG audio. Or it could simply be from 192kbps MP3 files.
But yes - it's clearly lossy, and the person who created the original fileset wanted everyone to know that, which is why he/she wrote it in the filenames.
