CDs aren't 'encoded'. You can rip at 128k or you can rip at 320k or more.

Re: The London 2012 Olympics: Current affairs discussion
 

Don't be silly Carl. so how would you rip and encode a CD to MP3 at 320k from 128k that was on the CD? :)

I'm waiting till the weekend when it's free.

Re: The London 2012 Olympics: Current affairs discussion
 

Then why is an 128k MP3 roughly 10% of the size of a WAV file? The bitrate of CDs is actually about 1411k.

Re: The London 2012 Olympics: Current affairs discussion
 

LOL! Think you need to do some research as to how a CD is created.

A wav file is the raw uncompressed version of the audio...but we are moving from the subject of this thread... :angel:

Each federation is selling their allocations in specific one of places, I think the Germans are doing theirs in knightsbridge and some one else in crystal palace if that helps anyone.

What do we think Usain Bolt's chances are like for a gold medal this year? With a name like Bolt he's born to run right?

And you just signed up to tell us about this nice little app?

Well, I'm not clicking that link...

Re: The London 2012 Olympics: Current affairs discussion
 

Don't worry, dealt with ;)

Re: The London 2012 Olympics: Current affairs discussion
 

I did. I'd be Joel Whizz!

That was boring.

Re: The London 2012 Olympics: Current affairs discussion
 

I didn't actually so I'm disappointed you removed my link. This thread is about the London 2012 Olympic games and it's a Usain Bolt related app.....I just thought it was a bit of fun :-(

It doesnt surprise you dont think its waste.

I think money is better spent on the poor and the needy not a showcase event that lasts for a couple of weeks where the main stadium cant even be filled because its catering too much to the rich corporates.

I would have justified it a bit better if the olympics wasnt in london.

Re: The London 2012 Olympics: Current affairs discussion
 

It was a facebook link to the official Glasgow Commonwealth games page. Nothing dodgy at all.

Re: The London 2012 Olympics: Current affairs discussion
 

When a new user signs up and their first post is a third party link without clearing with the team first, naturally we get suspicious as we want to protect our members.

Re: The London 2012 Olympics: Current affairs discussion
 

Actually it looks suspiciously like an opportunistic piece of social media marketing aimed at raising the profile of a forthcoming international competition off the back of the current public interest in all things athletic.

Go on, tell us that the digital design agency you work for has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with that Facebook app.
