Oh god it's so hard. I know a lot of people group things by the eras or the recording sessions songs were made in. A lot of people pin the songs to the album most closely released to the songs' genesis, etc.

I personally just....do my own thing. I look at what albums we know the songs are outtakes from, but then I look at how sonically they go together, lyrical quality, production, etc. So in some places, I've got a "B: Side" of the album, but then in others I've just got a lot of my own "albums".

 

Some of it is easy and clear (like the whole 'Sucker Punch' punk concept - all sounds the same, very British Rock, cohesive songs), and then some of it is sheer utter mess (literally 2015-2018/19 lmao oh my god there is JUST. SO. MUCH. SHIT.)

 

Some examples of what I've done. I need to actually redo some of it eventually because I've gotten HQ versions of some of the tracks over time and need to swap out the LQ versions.

I've got a lot of my own covers that I either made, or copied from other people and tweaked or cleaned up too. It's been a minute so I have no clue what I did or what I took from someone else and made my own or w/e.

also, another good way to organize them is by year/genre, you can make unreleased collections based on them

after you digest the officially released songs/projects + features I recommend you to listen to her first mixtapes pre TR  (heartbreaks and earthquakes + Super Ultra) and then jump on the unreleased section. Its a one way ride <3

Mmm I think that one is a mistake - I scanned through my 'OG FILES' folder where I dump and pull from, and I don't have anything lossless for Liquor - all mp3/mp4, so I wonder if maybe I accidentally converted one of those by mistake. Usually anything wav/flac etc. I just convert to apple lossless for iTunes, but I leave the OGs in a source folder on another drive. I've got OGs for other lossless songs, but not Liquor so - math is telling me I oopsied.

 

I can still upload it somewhere just in case - I just don't wanna cause a panic and people think it's legit lossless if it isn't. :toofloppy:

God the first mixtapes could literally have their waveforms printed on paper, ground up in a paste, put in an IV, and injected into my veins, and it'd cure everything, make me skinny, fat cock, luscious hair, the WORKS.

 

They're just so goooood.

That's a 'DM' me convo cause trying to hash it back and forth in forums would take a beat.
 

Also when we say lossless, do we consider lossless to include CD rips? (44.1khz, wav/flac) or do we consider lossless to mean higher than CD quality (aka studio 'masters' 48khz+, wav/flac)

my benchmark for lossless is p much anything higher quality than a 320 kbps mp3 but maybe i am wrong in thinking this?

For me a lossless CD rip (44.1khz, stereo, and wav/flac/aif/apple lossless etc.) is the line on "lossless". So that, or anything higher (aka 44.1khz wav, or 48khz wav +, etc. etc.) 256k-320k mp3/mp4 I consider "high quality". 160k-256k mp3/mp4 I consider "mid". Sub 160k mp3/mp4 I consider meh, except on the rare occasion that there will be a 128k file that manages to escape sounding like a compressed tin can, then I'll let it slide as "mid". 128k and less - why am I being sonically tortured like it's 1997.

 

I also shade anyone using variable bit rate anything encodes for audio in 2023. Hard drive space is cheap. We should not be so desperate for space that we're using VBR instead of CBR. Pls.

the only excuse i have for people who use vbr is people who dont wanna pay for discord nitro and cant send files over 8mb lmfao

but like, even then, kraken files dot com exists
