I can understand, but what does cause the common bad sound quality is
quasi impossible to say, we just can imagine.
Please see post above. I'm not talking about "common bad sound
quality". I'm talking about a very specific situation:
Low quality mp3 is re-encoded into flac. I download the flac with no
knowledge about the source file. Is it possible to analyse the flac
using a tool and tools available as open source software, and
determine with a high level of confidence that the flac is a
rerencoding of an mp3 file?
The software spek was mentioned, wich is a spectral analysis and
visualization software. I will try it by recreating the situtation I
just described using my own recordings. I will report results.
Unless this has already been done by someone, in which case I'm
curious to know what was discovered.
