Aurora - (2014) Awakening (single)(anonymous FLAC)


This is Aurora Aksnes from Norway (not Aurora, the electronic band).

Audio: FLAC 16/44.1KHz 2 channel VBR
Overall bit rate: ~772Kbps

track:
01 - Awakening (single).flac

The song is from a lossless bit perfect stream capture (TotalRecorder kernel driver) and is likely watermarked. Watermarking uses inaudible spread spectrum stenography to save the purchaser's name, address, website name, etc., making a file unsuitable for sharing. It is not possible to detect or remove it and survives most conversions (FLAC to MP3, etc). Most purchased digital downloads use it now (another reason you should always buy the CD if available).

There is a secret method (used here) to create anonymous CD quality FLACs of watermarked songs. They are still watermarked, however any personal info is not real. CD quality is verified via A/B comparison listening with the purchased FLAC file. Trader's Little Helper is used to test for MPEG (none found).

Discogs says this was released only as an AAC. Not true, as Trader's Little Helper 2.8.0 b178 says it's PCM:
"Aurora - (2014) Awakening (single).wav: track looks like CDDA with probability 100%."

If you like the music, please show your support and buy the music. She's really great live too so go to a show if you can.
