"synth_nyc has launched a new website where visitors can experience 24bit 96kHz synthesizers demos of custom patches, with continuous audio playback while navigating on the site.
This could be the first site to offer such user experience.
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec)
The audio content on the Internet is usually using lossy audio codecs (AAC, Vorbis, etc…) with about 100Kb/s, and may not necessarily showcase the full sonic quality of the synthesizers we are getting today. synth_nyc site is featuring a lossless audio codec; FLAC.
You will be getting 3Mb/s audio streams.
How does it work? The principle is simple, audio demos masters (24bit 96kHz PCM / WAV) are FLAC compressed (encoded) on the web server; and decompressed (decoded) ‘real-time’ by your Internet browser client while streamed. There is also a network of web servers distributed worldwide so the content is always close to your location.
Continuous Audio Playback
The principle is simple also: as soon as you press Play on any page on the site, a ’sticky’ player will also show-up on the page footer
Then you can, if you want navigate to another page.
And the track will continue playing with no disruption.
You may also - at any moment - click the 4 horizontal bars on the sticky player to display the track list / playlist currently selected"
