Consider this a little project for me since I noticed not a decent 2000?€™s FLAC download available on the torrent network. Believe me when I say this took quite some time to rip, download, tag, audiocheck and finally upload As a matter of fact, this is my 4th decade I have done (70?€™s, 80?€™s & 90?€™s are currently seeding) and I must say this was the most difficult decade to do. It probably has something to do with me quiting listening to the radio (and pop music in general) circa 2001 and getting more into the ?€œindie?€ scene. Unlike other decades, I had no idea what songs charted and what was popular (except for the obvious ?€“ like Nickleback, Nelly Furtado etc). So each song / band was wiki?€™d to make sure that it was on Billboard. I also threw in a few tracks from not so popular bands just to spice things up. Some of these are my own rips and some are taken from torrent sites. I used a program called audiochecker to validate how authentic the FLACs that I downloaded are and the log is included in this torrent (check in the Audiochecker folder). Of course there is no log or cue file with such a torrent but rest assured the rips that I did originally had them and many of the ones I downloaded had them too but I didn?€™t bother including.

Audiochecker isn?€™t 100% accurate either. For instance, my own rips of Nelly Furtado came up as 95% MPEG. How is this? I ripped the CDs straight into FLAC. So use Audiochecker more as a guideline for quality rather than the absolute truth because I can guarantee its not 100% accurate with its results and can be misleading due to its algorithm.

Also, I left the tracks as is. No equalization, no Replay Gain, no nothing. I figured if anyone wanted to "fix" the tracks to their liking they could do it on their end. Some tracks are from"remastered" sources so the volume is much louder than other tracks that haven't been. I don't really consider a lot of remastered music remastered since all they do is up the levels (compression and not in a mp3 sort of way) and brickwall the sound. Most Joe Six Packs prefer this type of sound but the rest of us that actually know what a good recording sounds like (something called Dynamic range that is all but dissappearing in modern recordings) hates this effect.

I?€™m sure there?€™s a lot more songs that could have been put into this torrent but after 2 months of working on it I just wanted to start uploading. I?€™m hoping this will meet the needs of a great 2000?€™s FLAC torrent.

Enjoy :)
