: I think this simply means that the 2.5 music could be compressed better,
: giving a smaller ALAC file size. ALAC is lossless, but it uses compression
: like Zip or Stuffit files do. I used FFmpeg to create FLAC versions, with
: similar results (7.4 MB vs. 5.0 MB).
: This result doesn't surprise me, since I hear more low-level noise in the 2.0
: versions. I believe that noise is inherent in QuickTime 2.0, not an
: artifact of the conversion, so it's not your fault.
Agreed about the low-level noise problem. I've upped another version which might have improved this slightly. Let me know. Thanks.
