Smokemonk I’m a Select Subscriber. Bit of a lengthy process as far as how I provide my PW credentials to a scraping tool via terminal (if you care to know more the PMs are open). I’m surprised, can verify that my properties of the file is .M4A and (worse than your report of 64. . .) 63 KBPS.

EDIT: If you have a recommendation as to how to measure the Bit rate of the root file source (Mixcloud.com) . . . let me know. I’d assume that a subscriber should get better quality than 63 and am unsure if it is my program’s bottleneck.
Not the program that I use but here is an old thread explaining the errors that others have experienced [https://board.jdownloader.org/showthread.php?t=69109]

      segwin Clearly they’ve changed the algorithm? if you have a choice of a Jdownload of 63 kbps m4a or a 320 kbps stream it makes sense using something like audiohijack to rip the stream vs direct DL of the file off Mixcloud? Am I being too simplistic here?

        I think it sounds good. And I’m playing it with speakers at home. 🤷‍♂️

        It’s clearly not a studio mix though in the technical sense…the mixing is atrocious ☹️

        Had a shaky start in his Lab London set though I am in no place to nit-pick.

        SM001

        I don’t understand the problem with this.
        He’s been active since 2004 and has obviously learnt a thing or two since his brostep days, as well as making some friends in high places.
        If the track was called Unknown - White Label it would just be a vocal edit of something and wouldn’t get the hate. I think he’s pretty bold for sticking his actual name on the release, knowing he will undoubtedly get backlash from haters.
        New pseudonym of Jrillax or something and woosh, hot new producer linked up with 4tet

            I’ve heard far worse posted by Alistair on here tbf

            Hank_Solo I don’t either if that matters. A good tune is a good tune.

              Hank_Solo Don’t try and sugar coat it - it’s getting hate because it’s absolutely shite. The kind of track you’d hear in some shoes only - no trainers, 2 VK blues for a fiver, plastic pints of Fosters utter shithole club in a place like Barnsley.

              Shame on Four Tet for producing it and shame on Sasha for playing it… and I’m normally a big fan of both those guys.

                Last Set On Earth I’d listen to.

                Can’t believe people are paying for this old mercury server dross.

                Loads of tunes from Leeds last week. The track on 24 mins was the crazy good one I was on about. (ID - ID apparently. 😃 )

                  The whole Mixcloud thing is shit. I only want to listen to this set.

                  It’ll be on his Soundcloud on Wednesday.

                    SM001 It’s up on SC now - just the first hour.
