I would like to request that album format marker on browser for 16/44.1 resolution be numerical (some form of 16/44), analogous to the current marker for 24/96 etc.
Album format should reflect resolution, not medium. The current marker (CD) reflects medium, and it always misleads me into thinking that the album is one of my CD imports. Moreover, 16/44 is no longer just CD resolution; it is also the majority of Tidal albums.
It does work. Because all 16/44 audio is equivalent to CD audio. Do you think Tidal ripped all their 16/44 audio from CDs? Of course not. But they are the same files that are on CDs.
Look, my logic said that 16/44 was equal to what is on a CD and that what is on a CD was equal to 16/44. No where did I say that all 16/44 content was from CDs or that it’s source was only CDs. Just that there were equivalent.
I don’t know why you have to be so pedantic. But in this case, you are just plain wrong.
Mike is correct. I can record myself reciting the Declaration of Independence at 16 bit 44.1 kHz on a laptop SSD. Not even close to an optical disc step anywhere in the process. If I import that recording, Roon will stamp it “CD.”
Once more, no, Scott. Roon indicates “CD.” It does not say “equal to CD” or “CD equivalent” or “CD quality.” You are assuming logical connections that do not necessarily exist.
Look, you apparently do not like to be corrected, here and elsewhere. In that case, just stop being incorrect. Problem solved.
Just to offer a bit more clarity, yes, you did make the flawed assertions above through your use of the “=” (e.g. 16 bit/44.1 kHz = CD) because that indicates a biconditional relationship.
This reminds me of the Cambridge University Studen Union who have been in the news lately where they seem to be struggling to find intellectual ways to be offended… Banning Applause and Poppies etc…
