as i said, the first priority is that no pirate sounds get played. doesn't matter witch kind of file, pirate is pirate. (this means mp3 and wav)
second, you will never play shitty mp3 at my dances, even if they are legal, because of the quality.

do you get it know?

But 320mp3 is far superior to vinyl - this is easily proven with tests! Why would you say such a thing when many DJs use mp3 these days.

Or are you talking about low quality 128 mp3? In which case I agree, they're shit.

But if someone was using CDJs you wouldn't know what they're playing.

And any idiot that has a way to make dubplates can give bad quality vinyl.

No, this is pretty much false unless it's a bad cut, master and a good enough set up.
Many DJs use CDs since it's much cheaper and easier to carry around.

* Analogue sounds better than digital partly because frequencies beyond those audible influence your perception of the sound.

* Downloading data pollutes the environment. The electricity comes from somewhere, you know. Any other greens on this forum?

* Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) Audio Layer III (MP3) has been superseded by the Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) algorithm. The Free Lossless Audio Codex (FLAC) is the most widely supported lossless format, not Microsoft's WAV.

* In particular, the side channel of MP3 is unpleasant. Listen to it at 320kb/s.

What? How does that work? That's crazy talk.

And the impact of making a big sheet of plastic from oil has no impact on the environment? Plus the process of recording audio onto said vinyl takes less energy than downloading an mp3? More crazy talk.

aac is a better coded, true enough. But not very widely supported in music yet.

I'll have a listen - I suppose this depends on the encoder, whether it's joint stereo or stereo. But either way, when do we listen to just a side channel?

I actually don't know right now why it's the case, but that doesn't falsify the fact. One of my instructors was involved in the tests.

I thought it was implicit that lossy audio is more energy efficient then lossless audio.

Yes, downloading data from the internet. It's also not an argument in favour of vinyl. Vinyl is indeed more wasteful than digital downloads.
wav is uncompressed mp3 use a lossy compression
WAV is actually a lossless compression format.

If you are so protective of the environment why don't you turn your computer off and go be an idiot in real life? How do you listen to music then?
