loop7 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I can just see the bandit creating plans to spend the £150,000. I'm interested in hearing the mini disc audio but I'm just a run-of-the-mill Radiohead fan and not a completist so I think I will pass. Link to comment
gdpr Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I am not a big fan of Radiohead, although there are quit some tracks that I like. I just bought the Minidisc collection, downloading right now, help Radiohead to make a point (and probably unexpected lots of 'extra' money) I really like their move and attitude.

Popular Post Josh Mound Posted June 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2019 Wow. Awesome move by Radiohead. Not only can I avoid tracking down the leak, but I’ll get it in a lossless format. Nice! shahed99 and tmtomh 2 🔊 The Best Version Of... 🎧 Link to comment
wgscott Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 This works out well for Radiohead and all of the Radiohead-heads and not the extortionist. I am going to take the good AudioDoctor's advice. Link to comment

I meant that the lineage of the original leak, which was put out in 192k MP3, was unclear. Presumably Radiohead’s FLAC release of the same material is closer to whatever the Mindisc ATRAC sounded like. Lossless to the source (the minidisc), in other words, not lossless to whatever the original recordings that went onto the minidiscs were. 🔊 The Best Version Of... 🎧 Link to comment

I believe it can be lossless but the official releases weren’t lossless. Edit: I believe I was thinking of Hi-MD. Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

Claiming a “hack” to generate buzz followed by a special release. Maybe I’m a bit cynical. I purchased the FLAC, downloaded and listened about half way through the first (>1 hour) track! Considering that the OK Computer material has been rereleased, I trust that this was not merely a marketing tactic. As I am a big fan, the outtakes and alternates and clips are terrific. Radiohead also releases videos of full concerts on youtube. They have been pioneers in alternate marketing strategies in the digital era, but I suspect make most of their $$$ the old fashioned way by touring, t-shirts, CDs etc... Custom room treatments for headphone users. Link to comment
