Drop them into fb2k or something similar and have a look. I hadn't
noticed mp3tag even showing sample rate etc but I use it for tagging.
As jj says, multi-channel is a good call, otherwise I'd say they're
24/96 files.

I just looked at some of the few hires FLAC files I have (two channel,
24/96). A 5:18 minute song is 122,525kbps.

maybe convert them to 16744.1 2ch before making mp3 of them ? is there
such a thing as a 24bit mp3 ?
24/192 6ch would be very big :)
Another thing to notice is that 24bit does not compress very well. 144dB
sn ratio lets assume a good recording with about 90dB sn/ratio (would

No. There's also no such thing as 16 bit MP3. Internally, MP3s use
32-bit float.
With a WAV, the bit depth tells you something about the number of values
a sample in the time domain can take. If understand correctly, MP3s
store audio as

You're right they're 32-bit float so nope, they have no bit depth in the
sense that PCM data does :)
Mp3s also have a maximum sampling rate of 48 kHz, so a hi-res FLAC
wouldn't explain the large size of the transcoded Mp3.
For example, I have a 24/96 version of Clapton's -Slow

Lame Mp3 transcoding of it is almost identical in size to the Mp3
transcoding of the standard 16/44.1 CD.
Which makes sense, as mp3 is based on what the human ear can hear...

I'll check things tonight, but the native sampling is 44.1, as received
by me. I had assumed higher before looking and used dBp to resample to
44.1 (thinking I had 192 or 96). The resampled filesize was
essentially the same, no surprise.
There is no mention on the MMW website suggesting that

Thanks again Archimago for funny pictures!
One thing that drowns in this talk a bit is how the practise of selling
these releases in PCM and DSD is. There is NO explanation about what is
the real material delivered by the label to Acousticsounds.
Imagine they only convert the
Ron,
I went to the MMW site to download the new CD but it only shows as
available in MP3. Where did you find it in 16/44.1?

Given that Mutations came out in 1998, is a multitrack studio recording,
it's assured that we're dealing with a PCM recording unlikely 24/192

understandable for them selling a 24/192 copy... I certainly
