There is a good chance that this is audio from the floor shot video from back in the day.
I have not compared the two.

So, I downloaded this show. It is a FLAC audio file, had alot of trouple getting to to burn to a cd. I used NERO to make 2 cds for my collection. I was looking online for FLAC info because I have not had much experience with them. Findings claim its a better file with less compression for long term archiving. Anyone have thoughts on this? I was adding it to my itunes so after NERO burned to cds my itunes then allowed it to play and import. So, I guess it is no longer a FLAC. Itunes refused the FLAC files initially.

I also found that mp3 recording lose quality over time and with multiple burns from a cd….. never thought that burning from a cd loses quality. Thought that digital burns are the exact replica of the original…….

MP3 is a lossy compression, it discards frequencies and alters the audio … FLAC is lossless … FLAC is far superior.

You can use a program called Traders Little Helper to convert the files from FLAC to WAV, then burn them to CD.

Thanks guys!
