Lossy or Lossless?!?!?!?!?!!?

[tonygx30]

Heres a few more shows I just got.

These looks fine to me.
In worst case these are MD recordings and accepted as lossless.

The second one (8-19-94) looks lossless but the other two look lossy to me, but I'm no expert.

I agree, first and 3rd look suspicous... could you post sa for both of those zoomed to 2 seconds so we can have a closer look, please?

Sorry, but here is another dumb question, how do I zoom in 2sec, there is are different ways to zoom in and how do I tell it's 2 secs?

Thanks for putting up with me, just started CD-R trading, and have began checking for lossy sourced shows (which surprisingly, there is a lot of.)

One way: Left click and mark. CEP tells you below at which point you clicked (big numbers in the center). Then right click and cut. But you shouldn't provide the first 2 secs of a song. So first cut the beginning of a song.

you don't have to cut... just put the cursor somewhere and edit the box in the lowest right to read "0:02.000" then push the button directly to the right of the record button that looks like a little magnifying glass.

Ok, I zoomed in on those 2 shows, hopefully i did it right. I cut out some of the beginning since it's just talking, no music. Then I edited the bottom box to 0:02.000 and clicked zoom once.

second one definitely. first one could be an MD maybe?

second one looks lossy to me (like atrac MD)

first one hard to say maybe try zooming it out to 2 seconds? could be nr or something making it black at the top because I don't see any lego fx here yet.
