Brainwave Entrainment

[significationof?!?]

Thank you very much! I'll try it right away.

I'd neet to download a flac-converter again etc. What I heard is that mp3 only cuts away sounds that the ear doesn't hear anyway... or does brainwave sync. work with soundlesssound?

have you tried vlc media player? best ever.

yeah it's interesting. it is basically soft, filtered brown noise in a gentle sweeping loop with a bit of verb on it. the same in every track i've listened to so far.

i actually find it rather pleasant in 5-10 minute chunks.. if you've ever used a noise mask (playing noise to filter out unwanted noise, when you are trying to work or relax or sleep) this would work quite well for that if it didn't have voices in it. i might just make a loop for myself

thanks for the link!

FLAC is for the most audiophile of audiophiles
No really, for some content, like very subtle piano music (try the Goldberg Variations by J.S.Bach) you can definitely hear the limitations of mp3. With good headphones you can hear a metallic artefact at the beginning of each low note, even with 320kbps mp3 (at least that was when I last checked with lame 0.93 - maybe it got better in newer releases). However with aac I wasn't able to hear this, that's why I switched to converting all my cds to high-bitrate aac (there's two good, free codecs for aac: one is in itunes, the other is a free command line encoder by Ahead, the company that makes Nero)

With FLAC you can be 100% sure though you won't lose anything at all, because it is lossless. Not relatively lossless, but mathematically proven lossless (don't ask me how it works, but I believe the mathematicians who developed that algorithm). The downside is it only compresses roughly 2:1.

Another great audio player that plays just everything (and is capable of every conversion, tagging and whatnot you can imagine) is foobar2000. It looks very minimalistic, but it's a multi-talented beast!

I, honestly was never in deep contact with FLAC, also not the VLC- player (although I have it), I play my music with iTunes and that was it. I realise that some songs are not so good but not sure if it is the song or the mp3.

thanks for the link!

Do you mean the mp3? Was it OK like that (as a non-FLAC file).

it is basically soft, filtered brown noise in a gentle sweeping loop with a bit of verb on it. the same in every track i've listened to so far.

I think this noise is the basics of the "theory of brain sync." as "both parts of the brain are synchronised" - dunno if it is bullshit though :wink:

The problem is, if I listen to that stuff, I do so on the bed with my mp3-player, meaning that I still need iTunes. (I hate the ipod but no other player has that much space and is comparably cheep. ipod=hype but there is no real alternative if yes pleaaase tell me )
