bigdz68 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 <p> Here's a little more basic breakdown (as some of the information above isn't quite right). Lossless Exact copy of the source for all intents and purposes, very large file size WAV is uncompressed FLAC and ALAC (Apple's proprietary version of FLAC, sometimes referred to as Apple Lossless) are simply compressed WAV files. Think about zipping a document, you don't loose any data, but it's smaller while compressed. LossyA lower quality (think, lower resolution image) audio file. MP3 being the most common (there are a plethora). 320kbps is the highest quality MP3 (science says your ears can't tell the difference between this and lossless, audiophiles disagree). As you lower the quality down to 256, 192, etc, it's a lower and lower quality of sound (again, lower and lower quality image). Thanks...I had it all jumbled up...probably due to lack of coffee...that's what I meant to say but just didn't type it correctly...I fail daegor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoStairwayDenied Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 It's showing up on amazon, but with a release date of January 20, 2015. WTF? http://www.amazon.com/Gone-Vinyl-Trent-Reznor-Atticus/dp/B00O0MBU0I/ref=sr_1_5?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1412099696&sr=1-5&keywords=gone+girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 The people at ETS are up in arms about it too. As long as I have the download now (which it is ready to dl from my account on nin.com) then I got nothing to worry and can be patient.

Amazon having a later release date doesn't (necessarily) mean anything. It could be incorrect, or it's very possible third-party retailers aren't going to receive it until later.

People expect lossless to sound amazingly better with cheap ear buds through low end aux ports on their phones. Through good speakers, I think I can tell the difference.

Through good speakers, I think I can tell the difference. I think I can too, but I think I'd probably equate that not so much that I can hear a difference as feel (low end bass, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agent5400 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 It looks like this is up for pre-order on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Gone-Vinyl-Trent-Reznor-Atticus/dp/B00O0MBU0I/ref=sr_1_1_title_2_lp_?ie=UTF8&qid=1412268651&sr=8-1&keywords=gone+girl+soundtrack Amazon says it will be released on Jan 20. NIN.com has it as Fall 2014. I sure hope it's Fall and we don't have to wait until Jan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Been listening to the soundtrack non-stop this week. Went and saw the movie earlier today. It's phenomenal to begin with. One of the best book adaptions in a long time. Then again, it helps that Gillian Flynn who wrote the book also handled the screenplay. If you've read the book, you know how insane the ending is. It got tweaked just a bit for the movie. Still fucked up. The soundtrack itself added a greater atmosphere to each and every scene that the music is on. Easily TR+AR have topped themselves yet again.

BWALL Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 So I just saw the movie last night and wow. Such a refreshing experience and I honestly loved how I didn't know what was coming next (which is rare these days in movies). Would anyone else like an off topic thread to discuss?

Does anyone have experience with that? Does it have USB? I don't know Chromebooks. iTunes is the main client for music on iPhone and it has some kind of wifi sync I'm pretty sure you can research. I've never done the wifi sync. As for Gone Girl, seeing my 2nd showing today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdz68 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 This week I bit the bullets and got The Social Network and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo soundtrack, I am going to see this this afternoon, .Let us know how quiet the pressing is on social network. I finally scored one and hope its not crappy....Where did u get a dragon tattoo on vinyl? I'm trying to find one under 3 bills and nobody seems to be selling even though there are tons of copies available. Shipping from nin is just too much $65 to ship is outrageous!

beags Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 This is insane. After seeing the movie this album creeps the absolute hell out of me. Amazing how atmospheric it is, what a score! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have experience with that? iTunes is the only way to sync music to an iPhone, which requires a Windows PC or Mac. Also, what "bonus" digital files? The tracklisting in the nin.com store is the same 24 tracks as every other digital retailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are patient you can find one for around $100 But the girl with the dragon tattoo is $300.....you can order it from nullco.com but the damn $69 shipping is insanity in my eyes!

The Vool Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Went to see the movie with my fiancée on Saturday! Was fascinated by the score only to find out that it is the work of Trent & Atticus! Ordered! Curious to know where they ship from. The Intl shipping was like ~ $8! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psus2h Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 iTunes is the only way to sync music to an iPhone, which requires a Windows PC or Mac. Also, what "bonus" digital files? The tracklisting in the nin.com store is the same 24 tracks as every other digital retailer. What I meant by bonus was that if you buy the LP from NIN you get the digital files for free. I didn't want to double buy. There are ways to get music on w/o iTunes on a Mac or PC, such as Google Play and Amazon Music, I just can't think of another web based method to do it. I might just have to buy the digital files from iTunes or Amazon Music and the LP separate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
