Which audio codec are you people using when ripping cd's? I used wav but the size made it not really fitting on my phone (60GB) I switched to FLAC. Many people I talked to said that CD's just use mp3 codecs in the First place.

I can't tell if I'm being double-whooshed, but 'rotational velocidensity' is a very old meme. Your post is fully correct though, so good job!

Yeah, looking back, I've probably been whooshed, but I'd be very happy if I can at least help prevent someone from unknowingly falling for it. I'm a software developer as a profession, and I can't take false misunderstandings about digital stuff like this. Also as a digital audio enthusiast, I understand that digital audio is superior in every way at least theoretically but I also accept that some analog formats (like vinyl) have better mastering and can sound better than their CD re-releases.

Peace!
