CD v Streamed



Uncompressed CD audio will take about 10.6mb per minute to play, to stream that takes big space and dollars to stream an album, see what your streaming company’s takes mb per minute to stream, find out and post up here.

I hear CD’s are better, I get better dynamic range from CD every time it’s A/B to me, now that could be that the streaming companies are using the "later compressed re-issues" of the same albums, you can find that out here https://dr.loudness-war.info/
Or that the streaming process itself compresses the music to save "streaming size" to save big dollars even if in small amounts.

Here’s a video from the CEO of Disc Makers Pty Ltd, yes he probably also biased because he manufacturers CD’s and vinyl, and is a very bad dancer.

Why are there the always the same clowns that have nothing constructive to say, instead of trying to sort this out, and stop the multitude of threads on the subject.

As it will if streamers here check the mb’s of a 1min live music stream, list the album /performer and album cat no. of what they’re streaming. Then it can be checked if their streaming company is compressing or they use compressed version of the album.

So now your streamer is compressed. Maybe its just cold? Give it time to warm up fully before you measure.

So they're not so much streaming as dribbling...

OP, what device(s) do you use to stream? What streaming service? I hear no difference and much prefer the variety offered by streaming over buying physical media.
