Hi!
I have torrent-downloaded old Genesis album "Selling England by The Pound". Actually, I downloaded from two different torrents - both versions are FLAC compressed. Audibly - both sound similar - very good audio quality. Both versions share same total audio playtime and have the same number of tracks. But one version is 319.3 MB while the other one... 1913.3 MB !!! Can anybody here explain me what can be the nature of such an enormous difference? Thanks ahead! |
