General Audio / Re: Unusual sampling rates

That's bullshit, but if you insist: it would make it much easier for you to give one categorical answer the following question.
Are the half-tone (the "dots") digitization artifacts or are they not?

In this case, distortions created by a guitar amplifier (real or simulated), which are very widely used in some music genres like rock and metal, would also be artifacts.
Creating music and reproducing a signal are different, you know? Two Wikipedia illustrations of halftone:

No artifacts here?

Definition of a word shouldn't change based on that manner. It either is an artifact or isn't.

I was trying to say that what is artifact and what isn't changes with the point of view
And that is misinformation. At least here, when it is about audible artifacts - sure you could have argued that when you are down to way below audibility it wouldn't anymore qualify for the term, but that's not what you are doing: you keep denying that [this particular kind of] resampling artifacts constitute "artifacts" whatsoever.

General - (fb2k) / Re: Album covers in Foobar 2.24 (x64). Is this possible?
Last post by Terence -
If you haven't seen it: you can also simply display thumbnails of the covers in the playlist just like that, without any additional components.

(I don't use JS to display my album list and playlist. I suppose you can do more advanced things with it, but I can't really say more.)

Normally, in stereo (a simultaneous 2-channel recording of sound), the 2 channels of music should be related to each other.
Yes, but this relationship can take on various forms. There are live recording methods with two microphones in virtually the same spot but at an angle, then both channels are in phase but with a different amplitude. This is also common in overdubbing (most popular music). In some cases, panning is hard left or right, and a sound might be in one channel but not in the other.

You can also record stereo with only phase differences, which is not uncommon in classical music. Both channels are equal amplitude but with different phase. That is much more difficult to decorrelate.

A mix of both is also possible, is usually considered superior, and quite common for live recordings.

+1 Excellent idea, even if with just a simple line scale and vertical pointers to drag.  So much easier to see all at a glance vs. click and re-click, and allow adjustments by dragging the pointer (or using wheel).
