The great journey begins (DMSI 3.1)

My ipod doesn't play flac for example, because it's a damn apple.

But I can on my pc.

I estimate that there is about a 3 to 5% increase in the clarity of the audio with FLAC encoding. You will likely notice a difference using FLAC, but it probably won't be a huge one.

MP3 throws away data that is considered "statistically irrelevant" based on human hearing. This is called lossy compression. Throw away what won't be missed anyway.

FLAC uses lossless compression. No matter how unlikely it is to be detected by human healing, it is kept.

MP3 (the way I make them) gives you 10% of the file size of the original file, and approximately 94% of the effectiveness. FLAC gives you around 50% of the file size, and 100% of the effectiveness.

Gotcha. Thanks so much. Also what is the difference between A and B? I know version A has healing in it, and B doesn't. Is that the only difference?, if not tell me. Is B stronger?

The only difference in scripting is that A has healing and clearing enabled, and B has it disabled. This may sound like a small thing, but the difference in the experience is vast and you will definitely want to follow the instructions and get at least a month of A in -- unless you are a serious badass, or just like to do things the hard way.

I have not seen too many people set out to do B side only and make it more than a week or two so far.

B and A are equal in "strength". They just have a different specific way of achieving their goals. A side does it by trying to deal with, heal and clear out anything that triggers resistance. B side says, "Resistance? Let's just tunnel right through that shit, no matter what it costs or what it takes."

Do some time on A first.
