All music traders are welcome... Yet know that in order to ensure the highest integrity of our mission, the following rules are non-negotiable and strictly enforced: No sharing MP3s or any other type of lossy audio, no sharing any incomplete recordings, no sharing any illegal pirated official music, movies, software, etc... If you have any of your own lossless audio recordings, the Echoes Hub community is the place to share them! Keep reading and follow the steps below and begin to experience your journey. If for some reason you are having trouble connecting, please fill out the contact form below in the footer and we will get back to you A.S.A.P. We realize English may not be your first language so we translated the
trading rules in 26 languages.
Lossless files are traded here at Echoes Hub because they are identical to the original recording. When you compress audio files using the mp3 format or similar lossy compression, some of the audio spectrum in that recording is permanently lost. There is no way to get it back because it gets deleted to crunch the file small in size. This degrades the sound quality. Did you know? Lossless compression is true to its name in that it retains all the information in the recording - nothing is lost. When you extract a FLAC file you get the original lossless .WAV file the recording was made with.
Our lossless music recordings are generally shared in the form of lossless SHN (Shorten) or lossless FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) files. Lossless audio files are a lot larger than mp3s and result in taking up a lot more space on your hard drive. Warning: Whether you are an archivist or an elitist, be prepared to start investing in storage space because this is the direction you want to head. Hard drives are becoming very inexpensive so start replacing your lossy recordings with lossless and
