Headroom has nothing to do with sampling frequency (bit depth do). But it has been explained here already. While you're absolutely right that listening to stuff at 96khz is pointless, it's worth noting that these high sampling f

I just wanted to emphasize the lossy compression since op stated minidisc was "the pinnacle of mixtapes with best of all worlds". Best of all worlds, excluding transparent audio quality. Big minus imo. I thought it was worth menti

I don't have a problem with the command line, I just find the argument of "tool X and tool Y are boring to use so you'd better tool Z" (as found on the linked article) a bit weak. I guess that's one of these tools t

I'm not sure what Poetry tries this to simplify on the development side... using venv and pip/requirements.txt is simple enough for me. And you don't even have to do it by hand, Pycharm will do it for you and activate the rig

"I've got all my music ripped to FLAC" And that's why I won't do it, because there's no way I can rip all my cds, let alone my vinyls... it takes way too much time.
