AMPS 119 - Mellow Moods (1977) Flac

[zoomo]

Thanks Greta for the legit lossless file.

I have no idea whether nidostar checked the frequency — he said nothing about it. And zoomo didn't mention any of this in his (latest) thread response. I don't first read every comment in every thread I respond to, and I'm no exception. I don't doubt your verdict, but I think a little extra chill on your part would be helpful.

Apologies for not providing background to my pronouncement in this topic at the time. I thought it worth posting a warning here following on from the discussion yesterday here: https://librarymusicthemes.com/index.php?topic=8392.msg57548#msg57548

Hopefully my post above clarifies the what and how I came to the conclusion I did.

No apology necessary from my perspective. There was a bit of misunderstanding here. My initial post was a response only to zoomo, whose post was the end of the thread for me (https://librarymusicthemes.com/index.php?topic=4504.msg57570#msg57570). Greta responded after zoomo, but her response wasn't visible to me, because she posted during the brief gap while I DLed/checked the files, and before I finished typing my response. Assumptions were made, and tempers got a bit short.

So in addition I use a Windows only app on an aging laptop called Lossless Audio Checker.

Actually, there's also a Mac (and Linux) version of this software but it's command line only and I'm far to be a "Power User", lol.
I would like to have a tool like that to help me with the ambiguous situations, although in reality I would like to be able to distinguish every single case on my own without doubts.
Btw, is that software trustworthy?

Despite having been a computer programmer at one point in my career I really can't be bothered with CLI only apps nowadays. Call me lazy but if it's not GUI then I'm not interested.

As for being trustworthy I was impressed with the fact that Lossless Audio Checker (https://losslessaudiochecker.com) appears to be written by a couple of people who produced study papers for their respective universities in Toulon and Marseille, France which are available on the webpage. Whilst much of the science went over my head the bits I did understand suggested that the algorithms they use are well thought-out and accurate. As I say I use LAC if Spek doesn't provide an adequate visual result. So effectively as a back-up.

Oh, and thanks, Greta for the FLAC share of AMPS 119.
