This is probably my only gripe with digital music, it can be fucked up and you’ll have no clue as to what layer is responsible for it not sounding “as it really should”. Hell, you won’t even know what it actually should sound like!
And players that skip the first bit of the music, as if every music began with 1 second of nothing. Learn to code so it only plays AFTER it’s fully done loading, ffs
Re: first second skips. My old old car had a shitty aftermarket Bluetooth stereo that, to “save power” or whatever, would stop transmitting after a period of silence. However, it’s definition of a “period” is very generous - a split second pause for effect in a song was enough to trigger the cutoff. So any songs that had that dramatic crescendo to silent sound would get a few extra seconds.
I’ve got a Queen CD of one of their concerts. And at the part where they introduce all of the members it’s a little garbled at the point they mention “vocals”. At least when you play it in a normal CD player. As soon as I play it on something more advanced the garble is gone through the magic of error correction.
To this day I ask myself if it was intended or a real error.
CD players should also apply error correction. It could be your player was just shitty.
My bluetooth headphones fade in music. One of the reasons I’m going to look for a replacement.
Do they maybe have an app to stop that happening?
