Has anyone ever ripped the spotify version of avocado?

[JuanHamm]

If so could you send me a PM? I have questions about the process.

[CopperTom]

I believe there are non-ripped versions of the “new” production available.

Is this the same as the "2017 mix"?

[JuanHamm]

It's all very confusing. I'd hate to accidentally listen to the BoB mix.

[McParadigm]

Yeah, it would suck to lose the Spotify master (not the 2017 thing)

It’s in the folder where all the other deluxe sets are.

This is where the confusion is. That's not the spotify mix. That's the BO'B mix. I don't think we ever got a lossless version of the spotify mix. Just a 320 mp3. It would be a major score if someone has a lossless version of the Spotify mix.

Unless I'm mistaken, there is no lossless version of the Spotify master; only an audio recording of the inherently-lossy Spotify stream.

I was thinking of the 2017 version. I was unaware that the Spotify version is different than the other two versions.

What folder are you referring to?

Yeah thanks i was confused as well...never saw the spotify version in the folder. Has anyone seen the spotify version anywhere but spotify? Is it possible to rip from spotify?

Thank you, Trag. You are a hero.

[bodysnatcher]

Ok but for real, what’s the difference? I don’t think I’ve done a comparison. Is it just less compressed / mastered differently? Or are there parts of songs that have something added?

[Monkey_Driven]

Sorry, I thought it was in there. I have the ripped version noted above, PM me for a link. Spotify launching a lossless offering this fall ("Spotify HiFi," I think). Curious to see if this master gets an upgrade then.

Was wondering the same thing.

I wasn't. I figure you guys will just let me know.

It's been a while, but from what I remember compression is not an issue on either the BO'B mix or the Spotify mix. They were just different in terms of where the instruments were in the mix. Guitars might have been a little more muted vs. Ed's vocals being a little more forward. Kind of like the new Atlanta 94 boot compared to the version we've had. Some songs had a clear difference, some not so much. I think World Wide Suicide was a good example of the difference in the 2. Hope this helps, I'm not good at explaining these things.
