FAQs

Q: How are the MP3s encoded and what quality are they?
A: All MP3s are encoded at the maximum bitrate of 320kbps using LAME, which is widely regarded by most audiophiles as the highest quality MP3 encoder available.

Q: Are the audio clips the same quality as the final MP3?
A: Yes.

Q: What are FLACs and how do I use them?
A: FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. Essentially FLACs are similar to MP3s, but lossless meaning that audio is compressed without any loss in quality whatsoever. It works in much the same way as Zip or Stuffit, only with FLAC you get much better compression because it is designed specifically for audio. You can play FLAC files directly using many audio players, or you can use Windows or Mac applications to expand files back to the original 16 bit WAV. These, in turn, can be played back on virtually every audio player under the sun without any loss in audio quality – You get what the artist mastered for CD. For more info on FLACs click here.
