The three lossless formats produce the exact same sound quality, so the choice is up to personal preferences which one to choose. Therefore there is NO difference between the audio quality of the lossless file and that from a standard 44.1KHz, 16 bit audio CD. For "casual" listening or if your sound system/headphones are not high quality you will probably not be able to tell the difference between MP3 and lossless, and thus I recommend sticking with MP3 for convenience (192-320 kbps, lower bitrates are not recommended).įLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec), Apple Lossless (ALAC), and uncompressed WAV are called "lossless" formats because, unlike the psychoacoustically compressed "lossy" MP3 format, they retain all the digital sound, unaltered. I recommend Lossless if you have a good Hi-Fi sound system, or high quality headphones, connected to your computer/music player - or if you intend to burn the music on a CD. "Lossless" (FLAC, Apple Lossless, or uncompressed WAV) is true CD-quality, and sounds better than MP3 if played over high quality sound equipment. I will also update many of my older music examples with the new formats. A selection of Free Music for Film and Video (16 and 24bit uncompressed WAV-files)įrom now on most new music downloads from me will be available in the full CD quality "audiophile" audio formats FLAC, Apple Lossless, and uncompressed WAV - aside from the standard MP3 format (which will remain the default format)."The Fairest of Roses (Den yndigste rose)" fanfare for two trumpets and organ (24bit download)."Lux Aeterna" for soprano, electronics, strings, and organ."The Hope" for brass band, choir, organ and percussion - depicting the battle of Copenhagen."Carillon" from the symphonic suite "Cantabile"."Cortege & Danse Macabre" from the symphonic suite "Cantabile".I will update the list regularly so check back often: List of free music downloads available in "lossless" formats.
