I was then subjected to a 20-minute grilling, in which the moderator lodged obscure audio encoding questions at me: What is the difference between constant bitrate and variable bitrate mp3s? Look at these two spectrograms—which of them belongs to an mp3 that was encoded poorly? How can you tell? If you encode a lossless file at 320 kilobytes per second, and then again at 256 kilobytes per second, is this the same as encoding at 256 directly? And more.
lol this confirms so much of what I suspected about this trash

if you're okay with the immorality of stealing music it seems churlish to complain about the thieves' club rules

au contraire this would be much less funny if the thieves were chill and friendly

Sure didn't expect What would be so divisive on ILM of all places.
The only thing that bothered me were the extreme ratio requirements. I mean, sure it incentivises retention but it's not much use when most people can't download anything until the sitewide freeleches or token giveaways.

The ratio requirements were the least extreme thing about these sites

Always seemed pretty easy going to me considering the standards they were looking for.
