ffprobe of ffmpeg fame say:
- bitrate: 256kb/s
- Stream: #0:0: Audio: mp3 (mp3float), 44100 Hz, stereo, fltp, 256 kb/s
Is it better to buy the CD and rip or or is that about as good as it gon’ get? Should I quit while I’m ahead
Its literally nowhere else online in a hq format besides YouTube (lq) and various random blogs/sites
No FLACs :( until I change that


CD is ~1411kbps. 44100 (sample rate) x 16 (bit depth) x 2 (2 channels AKA stereo). There’s more non-audio data in subchannels, for things like error correction.
