Lossy, but how? TV?

Sessions at West 54th - Sony Studios. No lineage info. Probably TV broadcast.

Lossy, but what from?

looks like minidisc to me

I'd rather put my money on mp2, but I'm really not sure about it.

[taygan]

Assuming this is TV, then mp2 may be as good as it gets, (unless there's a pre-TV patch) although not good enough to seed here, yes?

[ssamadhi97]

It looks like a digital transfer of an mp2 source to me, so it's almost as good as it gets indeed. The only better form would be the original compressed mp2 stream that was broadcasted (or maybe an uncompressed analog broadcast - which would not necessarily be better, mind you -, or indeed a pre-broadcast source, if those things exist).

I'll leave answering the "is this good to seed" question to a mod..

I guess it could be mp2 I just guessed md because its got that signature lego skyline.

it looks like a direct digital transfer as ssamadhi says, notice how the highs are pure black.

this source isn't the sort of thing we would welcome to be seeded here, not to say it wouldn't necessarily be okay elsewhere.
