13434624, what is a CD?

13434631, I just got a CD from an indie punk band and they have a hidden track

That's not on their spotify or added on to the track listing. Track 13 functionally does not exist anywhere but that CD ... and it's great.


I also had bought that 2010 SUV recently, so I have a handful of CDs on hand for just driving.

The bonus CD is a live performance of his rendition of Stevie Wonder’s You’ve Got It Bad Girl…21 min long track

What year is your computer?

I haven't seen a CD drive on one in about a decade

Lossless works.. 320 kbps MP3 as well
13434669, Man I’m on a 2019 MacBook Pro. I had to dig out an old Blu Ray burner

Drive and plug it in to a dongle lol.

I was amazed that it actually showed up in MacOS and Apple Music even found the CD data!

13434668, 16-bit, 44.1k WAV or AIF
Posted by flipnile, Mon Jun-07-21 05:26 PM
Convert to mono if you want to save space. 16-bit 44.1k is how the music on the CD is encoded, so you'll basically have a 1:1 copy.

Never used Apple Lossless.
13434670, Bet… what app will rip that format though?
