The technology to make 8K discs is already a reality. Folio Discs are the true successor to UHD Blu-ray discs. They have 1TB of storage. Started out as $5 per disc in 2022, it's now down to $3 with a goal of lowering it down further to $1. It's sad we'll probably never see them adopt it.

Here's the specifications page of the company that makes them: https://foliophotonics.com/product

Per the news, they're also ramping up production and looking to make 10TB discs for future use: https://www.ohiotechnews.com/folio-raises-8m-scale-optical-archive-storage/

Sony, Microsoft, the movie industry -- want to eliminate physical media for control. Not because they don't see a future in it. They keep saying they don't wanna invest in R&D to develop a successor. But you don't have to. Someone else already did it for you!

Taylor ships last minute physicals to block Olivia in the UK

Here are the predictions from industry insiders yesterday:

  1. Stupid Song (32,865)
  2. The Cure (26,603)
  3. Rein Me In (25,603)
  4. Drop Dead (23,461)
  5. Billie Jean (19,204)

All of a sudden, she overtakes the #1 spot. She started shipping the physicals when the chart predictions were published yesterday.

THEY REALLY NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT INTENTIONALLY DELAYING THE SHIPPING OF ORDERS AND ONLY SHIPPING THEM BASED ON CHART NEEDS. TAYLOR IS EXPLOITING THE SYSTEM.

Is there a plugin or program that detects how many wasted bits are in FLAC?

I download a lot of files that are in ALAC and FLAC format, and they often come in 24-bit/44.1 kHz.

With ALAC, the file size is what you would expect them to be - if they were real 24-bit/44.1 kHz files.

But FLAC has the ability to compress unused bits (wasted bits), which is why it's more suitable to detect fake 24-bit upscales which are all over Apple Music and Qobuz. I often find that my 24-bit/44.1 kHz downloads are fake simply by looking at their file sizes. I also convert them to 16-bit and bit-compare them in foobar and no differences are found, confirming they have been padded and/or upscaled.

There are times when looking at file sizes isn't enough, though. I've had a few files that are 24-bit/44.1 kHz but have 16-bit-like file sizes. But converting them to 16-bit and comparing bits didn't return similar results. There's a difference, but miniscule. (So the files are probably using 17 or 18 bits, almost on the edge.)

Is there an easier way of accomplishing this without having to convert files? Can we see how much bits are wasted? How much is padding?

Why do a lot of modern female pop vocals sound like they still have food on their mouth while singing? Or a lisp? Or grillz/retainer/braces? Or have a cotton in their mouth?

I don't really know how to explain this other than they sound like they still have food on their mouth while singing the words to their song. Or they have a lisp. Or that they're wearing grillz, retainers or braces. Or they have a cotton in their mouth. Here are just some few examples:

They sound like they're pushing their tongue against their teeth and then trying to sing. Even Madonna has started to do the same in some of her newer songs.

What's with this trend? This started around the tail end of the 2010s. Say 2018, then never left.
