The odds are really much much higher.

@Starr Shine? may have selected a certain restricted end point in number, however the odds are to do with the various different routes available through the different levels of questions, and the choices it offers you.

Okay, here’s a question for those who understand these things, what is “lossless”?

It’s basically audio files that are unnecessarily large and don’t actually sound any better, but promise to.

This, I think, is my question? The name of file indicates it has lost no information, but how can a 16-bit lossless file be the same as a 24-bit lossless file? If they are both truly lossless, they both have identical files, yet one’s bigger than the other!

I’m redoing all my music files, what should be my high-end back-up format?

Its generally agreed that FLAC is something to aim for but in honesty I cannot really tell the difference. I think its about compression and how much is lost when doing so.

Here’s a quick guide comparison.

Oh dear I found a Beatles-only tv station. Plays non-stop documentaries- at the minute, George Paul and Ringo are bitching about Yoko 😛

And I thought I was going to read tonight- oh dear.

I mentioned this station…….. it’s one I found on my ‘box’…… all the cartoons……MMT…..Great stuff.

 

One complaint though, Why would you use the word ‘bitching’? It seems pejorative, judgemental, derogative, stereotypical, sexist and designed to devalue and de’Mean Mr McCartney, Harrison and Starr.   

I wouldn’t use such a word in connection with Yoko without expecting it to immediately get Nasty and suffering Extra Testy complaints.

 

 I shall write to my MP.

‘Bitching’ is used in a derogatory sense to mean ‘gossiping’, which is what G, P & R were doing- making snide comments about Yoko that they probably wouldn’t have said to her face.

There is no other word bar ‘bitching’ that I could think of to describe what they were doing- gossiping was too light-hearted.

I have no major problems with Yoko- I’m indifferent to her as I’ve previously said. Notice I said nothing mean about Yoko in my above comment.

 

I can’t find the video on YouTube of the clips that were on the channel but they are from the Anthology which I’m sure everybody here has seen.

Yip. Bitching is a common term in the UK to mean talking unpleasantly about someone (or something), more often than not behind their backs; something Paul, George, Ringo, any many others, did often about Yoko. They weren’t very nice to and about her.
