Rip to FLAC for same high quality in your digital collection.

I still can't believe that vinyl is come back from the dead. And get this--the newest TV sets have
curved screens now. They started out curved, then went to flat, and now they're back to curved again. What was old is new again.
Are you saying that MP3 files can be upgraded to FLAC if you rip them to FLAC? That doesn't seem possible. It seems like it would be like the standard DVD players that claimed that they could "upconvert" (I think that the word is) standard DVD's to the high resolution (I've forgotten the name of them, it is below blu-ray) DVD's. It just simulated the higher resolution.
BTW--something y'all might find interesting. In the 1970's did any of you hear of "quadraphonic" (that may have been just the name that one particular company used) receivers? Supposedly they could convert stereo records or eight-track (Ack!) tapes to a 4-channel sound. I owned a system (it wasn't really expensive) that was described that way. I never could hear any difference, myself. Wonder what happened to that concept? I guess that the manufacturers couldn't deliver on what they promised . . . .
Glad that you made the post, for several reasons. One is it reminded me to check
your blog before I go nite-nite.
