I decided to check the songs from The Lost Sessions using aucdtect, I was quite shocked, I'd advise anyone else that check wav's to do the same, some big surprises in there, I wanna make sure mine wasn't a fluke.

well I want someone else to confirm it also, but a number of the songs ripped straight from the cd to wav files came back as originally mp3 files.

mixing problems and now this?? i wouldnt be suprised if it was true. its well known KOCH used mp3 files on 15 Years On Death Row and 15 Years On Death Row Vol 2


auCDtect - is a program for determining the authenticity of musical CD records, using the character of the audio information it contains, and predict its possible source is it an original studio record or a reconstruction from a lossy encoded data (for example, MP3).
Accuracy: >95% (for detecting mp3s)

Why am I not surprised. Cheapskates.

 i ordered this a couple days ago.

[Schreibs21]

yea that was me, 3 songs came back as mp3, eat a dick, o.g. and got to do wrong. 4 came back as cdda, doggystyle being one of them, the rest it could not determine the source.

[Sir Petey]

thats crazy as hell

It doesn't really surprise me considering they rip the tracks anyhow in MP3.

[OG Hack Wilson]

2 mp3s

interesting so you got something different, of course that's why I wanted other people to check also.

[BIGWORM]

lol it's so they can re-make a "REMASTERED" version of it and make more feddi.

pathetic. not that it was neccesarily made from mp3s, but it does verify that the sound quality was very poor. although its not exactly hard to hear that.

i've used a little app called tau analyzer before that does the same kind of thing. real useful cause i couldn't remember if particular burnt cds were direct copies of originals or made from mp3s.

yea I've been meaning to use tau analyzer as well, it's made by the same people that make aucdtect.

weird. Why wouldnt they just get directly from the DAT tapes if they have em. Does it cost more money for that to be done. Someone should get at the owner with this info. Shameful

It's just them assuming that fans can't tell the difference and we all obviously could after one listen. I attribute it to lazy and careless work ethic.

wow, weird fo real...
