I don't get one thing - why would devalue your submission by typing "every" when it's clearly not true?

- happytoexplain 3y agoWhat a strange thing to be condescending about.
- dtx1 3y agoTrue, it's weird but this is missing major formats like auro3d
- globular-toast 3y agoPretty sure Ogg/Vorbis supports multichannel. I don't see that there.
- asylteltine 3y agoAuro3d isn’t a major format and it’s entirely dead
- nativeit 3y agoSome sort of CAD file for etching wax cylinders and vinyl masters would warm the smart-ass cockles of my heart.

- dtx1 3y agoSure, but it's something my receiver technically support
- teh_klev 3y agoBut no-one is shipping content with these long gone formats any more. My almost 20 year old receiver supports formats that have long since fallen by the wayside as well, why put any effort into them for test and diagnostics?
- CamperBob2 3y agoI was bummed that it didn't include 4-bit mono ADPCM, myself. Nothing else evokes my childhood with Ma Bell quite as effectively.
- seba_dos1 3y agoOld content still exists. Also, there are still SACD releases being made in 2023 (though whether it makes sense is another matter) and DSD is nowhere to be seen in this set of files either. That said, it's obviously impossible to include every audio format out there, so I don't expect it to do so at all. That's why I asked what's the motivation to write such thing, because it's a very weird thing to say in the first place. If it actually included some weird, exotic and outdated formats it could perhaps be excused, but apparently it doesn't even try to do that, so it really feels like clickbait.
- refulgentis 3y agoDude what
- seba_dos1 3y agoNobody's condescending here (except you, perhaps). I don't know much about audio formats myself, I clicked because I got curious of "every audio format", but got a pretty basic set of the most popular formats instead that's missing some formats that even a dummy like me knows that exist, so I'm genuinely curious why would someone add a completely unnecessary and confusing word "every" into that sentence instead of, say, "various". All it achieves is that it turns a useful submission into a lie.
- dylan604 3y agoThe LPCM5.1 is an M2TS file at @498MB while the LPCM7.1 is saved as WAV at only 23.2MB. That seems very strange unless the 7.1 is significantly shorter. That would be very odd decision. Seems to me that a library like this would be exactly the same audio source just saved as the different formats. Maybe I'm over thinking it, and just too OCD about making a library like this public for fear of this very type of criticism
