I was able to obtain for my collection a source that had it in lossless from overseas. If you use SPEK you can clearly see that the NOW 45 and the CD single offer a horrible quality file. So any US copy as Aaron correctly pointed out suffers the same mastering fate...]]> Sat, 01 Aug 2020 00:24:41 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9105&PID=55095&title=ot-fragmatocas-miracle-2000#55095 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9105&PID=55092&title=ot-fragmatocas-miracle-2000#55092 Author: AdvprosD

How would you be able to tell if the CD single tracks
or, (Now 45), was made with a "Lossy" version?

Is the source in the notes? Or, is there some other way
besides listening to the quality of the song?

I ask because, to me it sounds like I might have to look
and see if I have Now 45. I haven't got quite the range
of hearing I used to have. Add to that, I have a mild
case of tinnitus that sort-of comes and goes. When it's
hot, I can't really enjoy listening to anything.]]> Fri, 31 Jul 2020 18:08:54 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9105&PID=55092&title=ot-fragmatocas-miracle-2000#55092 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9105&PID=52071&title=ot-fragmatocas-miracle-2000#52071 Author: aaronk

The Now 45 disc is lossy, unfortunately. The US CD maxi single has the same lossy version for the Radio Edit. The quality is so bad that it sounds like it may have originated from a 96kbps mp3.]]> Wed, 12 Jun 2019 22:07:05 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9105&PID=52071&title=ot-fragmatocas-miracle-2000#52071 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9105&PID=52070&title=ot-fragmatocas-miracle-2000#52070 Author: FrankG

The version on Now That's What I Call Music 45 from the Uk runs
3:23, if that helps.]]> Wed, 12 Jun 2019 21:02:46 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9105&PID=52070&title=ot-fragmatocas-miracle-2000#52070 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9105&PID=52066&title=ot-fragmatocas-miracle-2000#52066 Author: PopArchivist

Charting at #99 in 2000, this is a bit off topic but between legal issues in the UK over royalties and the CD singles being lossy and not lossless, anyone have a compilation they know of that doesnt run into the next song that they can confirm is lossless and runs 3:22?
