Iron Maiden's "The Number of the Beast" compressed over and over as an mp3 666 times.

I'd be interested to see what happens with 666 instances of Apple Lossless. :wink:

i'm just glad that the guitar solo rocks so hard that it refuses to be contained by the compression... everything else gets swamped in crickets, but that solo fucking rages through!

666 is an awful lot of compression passes. I'm sortof surprised it's recognizable as music at all. Do we know what the settings were? Did he do 320kbps for each pass?

Digi Maiden! That sounded fucked up. I remember when real player around 1997 almost sounded that bad.

Iron Maiden rules.

Of course, as we now know, the number of the beast is actually 616.

Ah, well.

Amazing. Even after all of that MP3 compression, it still sounds almost as good as the MySpace player.

This always happens, but -
668 is the neighbor of the beast. 667 is the house across the street.

Someone had to do it.
