there’s this site that shows the original filename of tracks uploaded to soundcloud which is useful for figuring out if its undergone a lossy to lossy transcode.. im so desperate to figure out how it works because soundcloud doesn’t return this information in their tracks api
it has more info about the original file too but it isn’t displayed for some reason
i genuinely think some musicians have no idea what the different file formats are so they upload as whatever the daw selects or whatever looks familiar to them and often times its a lossy format
@iris mp3 is probably somewhat transparent at this bitrate but when people upload it to soundcloud you get the 160kbps aac transcode of Doom which makes it sound even shittier
