192kHz/24 bit, what a wonderful piece of snakeoil... What do they actually record with this frequency, bats talking to each other about classical music?
You’re mixing up sampling rate/depth and sound frequency.

Am I? They say 192kHz/24 bit, followed by the word lossless... Trust me, I am not confusing things, but they do. Here is the quote:
> up to 192kHz/24-bit Hi-Res Lossless
If this makes sense in your world, kudos!
Re: Apple Music Classical
#83I was skeptical of the idea when it was announced a few weeks ago but I like what I see. Music discovery on the classical side is different from popular genres. Often I’m trying to discover new/different recordings of works I’m already familiar with. Different players, conductors, etc. Here, it’s a success.
For example I’m playing the Beethoven Op. 97 at a festival this summer. I have my go-to recordings but I’m curious what’s out there. The search here yields complete works; rather than a movement here and a movement there, album here and and album there. This is priceless compared to the classically-oriented search elsewhere.

> But unfortunately, this wont change the fact that the classical recording industry is dying and that the sector is only surviving thanks to public and private subsidies. Bet $100 that all classical music will be AI generated (synthesized and composed) in just three years. Supply side will be infinite.
This is not how art or human appreciation for it works...
It's how commerce works. As soon as AI can generate a commercially viable product, in less time and for less cost, human content ceases to have any commercial value, and as AI becomes ubiquitous it becomes normalized in pop culture. Appreciation comes with the inevitable cycle of one generation being born native to a paradigm shift rejecting the standards of the old guard.
And it won't just be classical, it will be all genres and all creative media. And it will probably take longer than three years. But it will happen.

It means that the audio is sampled at 192khz and each sample is 24bit, not that the audio is recorded with hardware capable of recording sounds up to 192KHz

We have machines that can produce clothing, yet there are people out there that buy custom tailored clothing. AI can generate images, yet people will go out there and buy something custom made. I think manufactories will become much more important and expand into more areas. Which means that hand-made music will just be much more expensive, and your "off-the-shelf"-production will be way cheaper.

#90Strange feelings looking at this... This is almost exactly the product I failed to get into YC with back in 2017... All the same ideas as far as the UX goes with one main difference: the business model. I wanted to apply the Steam business model where people would actually buy album again (and not tracks a la iTunes). The issue is that while it's nice to have a UX tailored for classical, this won't likely help the cl…
So a band camp for classical music is required?
