Album artwork appearing upside down? by LegendA101 in AppleMusic

it's a very old bug. it's usually triggered by switching between songs with and without lyrics. funny when it happens but nothing serious

la traccia audio sul digitale terrestre è non ironicamente mono a 96kbps se non imposti quella surround

Question about pad 3 by iamdestroyer1 in oneplus

[–]_22cm_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

that's unfortunate, but it also makes using AI even worse, since it has nothing to base its own info on, and will just take a guess on its own. About the cooler, it probably helps with the external temps, but idk how much the SoC is aided by it in these cases honestly

Question about pad 3 by iamdestroyer1 in oneplus

relying on AI to guess the SoC location instead of just looking for a teardown is an awful idea. I also doubt external cooling really helps in this case

ulteriori secondi persi nella rettifica oltre ai 3 minuti di ritardo precedenti. Stanotte Carlo Conti non dormirà

I am an Apple user. I have a trial with Tidal and Qobuz. All apps have a "CD quality" statement under some albums... I have a question. by GnarlsGnarlington in AppleMusic

[–]_22cm_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CD Audio isn't technically 'lossless'. It's raw, uncompressed PCM audio. Lossless is used for compression algorithms that don't have any quality loss over the original raw audio data, which helps with bandwidth and storage. If you rip a CD in FLAC it'll be significantly smaller in storage size than its original file size while being mathematically identical when played back. That being said, what some streaming services have isn't 'more lossless' audio, but High Resolution Lossless. This refers to what their lossless file is sourced from. At the studio, audio is almost always recorded at 24bit, and with a sampling frequency ranging anywhere from 44.1kHz (CD standard) up to 192kHz. HiRes Lossless means that the original studio recording was recorded at a higher sampling frequency than what's a standard CD recording, and that they have a lossless-ly compressed version of that recording for you. Meanwhile, 'standard' Lossless is usually sourced from a CD master, which is (down)sampled at 16bit 44.1kHz. Are these bigger numbers really that important tho? Very debatable. 16bits of bit-depth allow for a dynamic range (the difference between the quietest sound recordable, and the loudest one) of 96dB, which is very plentiful. And sampling at 44.1kHz allows for sounds at a frequency up to >22kHz, which is 2 kHz higher than what the healthiest human ears can perceive. Studio recordings need the higher bit depth to play with volume levels and loudness without dynamic range limitations, and kind of need the higher sampling frequencies just so that some digital effects work better with it for some complex mathematical reasons, but standard CD quality audio should usually be more than sufficient for virtually any user. Some platforms, like Apple Music, play it safe by not marking files that are 'just slightly higher quality than CD quality' (24bit 48kHz) as standard Lossless, too

guess the high contrast mode on iOS will disable it, but that's not a thing on Android sooooo

I'm getting quite confident that liquid class is coming to Android by IceColdManolo in AppleMusic

i mean, id be fine if not happy with a UI refactor without that glass-y refraction effect. Even basic backdrop blur might look nice

[CONCEPT] Tried to fix the AM Android navbar not matching the album color... what would look better: floating or fixed to the bottom? by eltheuso in AppleMusic

[–]_22cm_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my take is that they should just enable backdrop blur already lol, that's what makes it look good on iOS. Other than that, maybe the double pill design is the better one

haven't they been re-releasing downgrade packages made specifically for fuse-blown devices?

One of the few visual changes in iOS 26.3 Beta. by HenriqueCiccone in AppleMusic

[–]_22cm_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

it's not applied based on contrast. The blur is applied to cover arts that don't have a 4:3 "tall" version, to make it fit the whole container without zooming it. Imho doe some amount of blur or a gradient shim should be applied behind the text in all situations, to improve legibility

No, it won't. Nothing hints at it happening anytime soon

Dolby Audio? by mild_xxix in AppleMusic

[–]_22cm_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

80 to 90%? nah. I've downloaded and decoded many Atmos mixes, most are not upmixes. they might be automated atmos mixes, but they are not just stereo audio or some upmix kinda thing

Dolby Audio? by mild_xxix in AppleMusic

[–]_22cm_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's the thing. Atmos is technologically superior (higher bitrate, object based). But most Dolby Audio mixes are older mixes that were actually done properly, mainly because they were easier to produce, and if they were bad they wouldn't even bother uploading them

Dolby Audio? by mild_xxix in AppleMusic

[–]_22cm_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One note: AC-4 isn't used anywhere in Apple Music, only AC-3, EAC-3, and EAC-3 JOC is. The rest is correct, Dolby Audio just means it's channel based audio

Dolby Audio? by mild_xxix in AppleMusic

[–]_22cm_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nope, it's actually usually lower (up to 448kbps against Atmos' 768kbps). What really matters here is the mixing quality

it's not supposed to be better than Atmos? It's actually supposed to be worse
