If they are releasing on floppy, then the quality can't be up to much - that's going to be a pretty low bitrate MP3 to fit in that space!

- crtasm 4y agoSometimes they'll be modtracker files (a handful of short samples + playback information) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module_file https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module_file
- squigg 4y agoAh good point. Hadn't considered mods as a distro mechanism. I still have all the mods I made in the late 80s/90s - rendered them and uploaded to Soundcloud for the world to enjoy / laugh at ... a very resilient format!
- johnwalkr 4y agoSometimes they are low bitrate mp3s, too, which I guess can work for some songs in the genre which deliberately low bitrate samples.
- ElectricalUnion 4y agoopus can do good audio even before transparency bitrates (without both the very annoying mp3 metallic ringing or ogg muffled sound)
