[Other] Akiko Shikata Lose-less music files

OK,I know that the time of posting downloads is almost over...

Anyway,I just found something that I must share...MP3 is the most used and a a very useful music file. But they are not the best quality that you can get out there....
And they are not as good as the CDs..

What I found now,is a torrent with some cds with lose-less formats and others with H-quality formats (Plus scans)

At first I thought that the differences would not be perceptible...But since my computer's sound system is not simples I could hear the differences...really...some albuns are more soft and the percussion is better...

But as you can imagine...these files and a mp3 file are the same in simple headphones or anything like that : (

Anyway,there goes the torrent (I'm seeding....And I will keep like this for a lot of time)

Also....A tutorial to "open" the lose-less files:

And now i'm trying to find an AT lose-less music files : >

Thanks Artesox~ I've also Ripped Shikata san's music from the CDs into my computer using loseless format, and I agree that there's some subtle differences between files of different quality. I don't think I'll upload them though as the file size is a little too big (the Wisteria album itself is 400mb already)~ Maybe you can also try to find files ripped using the ape and FLAC format

What does it mean by 'useless', anyway?
And since we're going to take it off soon, it's the more reason to post all download links here before our wish comes true, if it really does. XD

It is not Useless...it is Loseless : P
What means that it is very,very close to the original...no quality loss (MP3 have some quality loss)

I will post another torrent with more Loseless,because I just found some Flac archives....but no AT file : <

Edit: and yep...I'm back from my holidays at the beach

LOL, I wrote it like that? My apology! Looks like my hand didn't synchronize well with my head, haha~ I'm sorry.

Anyway, how can I open these lose-less files, then? Since it's not in MP3...

This tutorial explain it

It's a very simple program, but it works very well....

I will resume the tutorial:

Install the player:
Here

Then,install 2 plugins:
This,for TTA files
and
this for TAK

One of them will have a folder named Components....you will put it in the main foobar folder...
The other will be just a file...you will put it at the components folder in the foobar folder


And now the player will be able to run those lose-less files

Also,if the some files don't open,look for a text file close to the TAK or TTA files...in this text file search for any .mp3 or .wav file and change it to TTA or TAK (IT should be the type of file that is in the folder)

Ah, I see. Thank you for the explanation, I'll try it out some time later after I finish my works.
