So this is a fun #Audio tool for #macOS if you listen to various #HiRes and/or #LosslessAudio formats and want to switch a digital output to the matching #SampleRate on playback - github.com/vincentneo/Lossless

I'd love for it to match discrete output channels and bitrate along with sample rate to account for multichannel source material 🤔 I may have to play with the #CoreAudio tricks they use for the app.

Will mostly be posting about new non-fiction #books (both scholarly and wider audience), #ScienceFiction, #Ecology, #astronomy, and #HiRes music.

Will also post about #SciFi such as #StarTrek, #BattlestarGalactica (Ronald D. Moore), #Babylon5, #Foundation, #TheOrville, #ForAllMankind.

Traditional reader of scholarly non-fiction who spends more and more time reading #TrekBooks / #TrekLit.

I follow #Astrodon and #birds.

New instance, new #introduction

I will mostly be sharing what I am listening to. Perhaps with the occasional review. I collect #HiRes recordings. I grew up in the lofi scene and spent over 20 years as a mutli-instrumentalist/singer/songwriter. I listen across genres, including #ClassicalMusic, #Jazz (mostly 50s and 60s), #FolkMusic, #60sMusic, #IndieMusic, and experimental.

I am first believer in the communal experience of music and its transformative healing powers, socially and personal.

@allenmichie I totally missed the release of In Concert at the Olympia, Paris 1957. I don't know why that #MilesDavis album is not available as a #HiRes download. I only buy CDs if the album is out of print and/or too obscure to be available as a download. Importing CDs is never good quality. I don't why CDs are still a thing. One has to have a $15,000 home system to make them sound good.

This account will not be much more than me sharing what #jazz album I am listening to. Over the course of my life I have moved along through every media type, but the last few years have built up a large #HiRes library. Still, I will be first to tell you that vinyl is better.

I also listen to classical music, indie and some world music, but created @Chaconne for that just to make things less confusing.

Recently picked up two Conrad Herwig albums. The Latin Side of Mingus as well as The Latin Side of Horace Silver. Though I have not had a chance to listen to the #HoraceSilver album yet, the #CharlesMingus album was truly great. I highly recommend. A++

Herwig also made another tribute album with the same titled theme, The Latin Side Of #WayneShorter but it is not available in #HiRes, otherwise I would have got it.
