I’m looking for a BIFL (or at least last me for a while) music player that can play .wav files, has a lot of storage, is portable, and the parts are able to be replaced/upgraded. I’ve heard about using iPod classics but it seems like they’re unable to play .wav files. Any reccomendations?
I assume they want full quality audio but don’t know that flac exists
I once had a debate with my audiophile uncle about how lossless compression results in identical inputs to the DAC, but he clung to the illusory superiority of WAV.
“okay. all i hear is words. i know the WAVs work and i like how they sound. can you please just make the WAVs work?”
I can see someone not caring about the wasted space in 2024, but does WAV have the ability to store ReplayGain tags?
Nah, I’m aware of flac, but I’ve had issues with compatibility that I don’t have with wav files.
What type of issues? Did you get error messages?
Lotta times in file players it’ll say unregonized file type
Which players? FLAC has been around for over 20 years, so players that don’t recognize it probably need to be updated :D
Apple music, Protools, Logic (although those two are DAWs), VLC
Wow, apple needs to update their garbage lmao
Damn, that’s embarrassing. Jeez!
