The most direct method is: MP3 acc WMV is lossy, WAV FLAC ape+cue is lossless

The next step is to see if its spectrum is very rich

Tau Analyzer is also a software that can detect lossless music

Before we use Tau Analyzer to detect lossless music, we need to convert APE or FLAC into WAV files. You can use Qianqianjingting or FOOBAR to convert. I won’t say much more. The purpose of converting it into a WAV file is to load it with a virtual optical drive and then detect it with Tau Analyzer. I recommend using the Chinese version of daemon 3.47 for the virtual optical drive. It does not require 4.0 or above, and a higher version is meaningless.

After installing the daemon, it is best to restart the system. The daemon does not enable the virtual optical drive by default. We manually start a virtual optical drive. Right-click the daemon icon in the system tray area in the lower right corner, which is the red one. In the pop-up menu, select Virtual CD/DVD-ROM→Set the number of drives→1 drive.

After enabling the virtual optical drive, load the CUE index file, which is the list file for everyone to play APE. To use the CUE file in the daemon, we must first modify the CUE file so that it can correctly recognize WAV files. Open the CUE file with Notepad and replace the * in the FILE "*" WAVE statement with the name of the WAV file you converted. My WAV file is named Celine Dion - Unison.wav. Just save it after modification.

You can use the daemon to load the CUE file at this time. If it prompts: An error occurs on the third line when loading, then you can open the CUE file and change all the statements in front of the sentence FILE "*" WAVE. Delete it and it should load normally.

If that still doesn’t work, copy the following code and save it as a CUE file. This will authenticate the entire CD instead of each track individually. Remember to replace the file name inside with your own file name.

[Copy to clipboard]

CODE:

FILE "Celine Dion - Dion chante Plamondon.wav" WAVE

TRACK 01 AUDIO

TITLE "APE Identification"

INDEX 01 00:00:00

The WAV file is loaded. Please exit Tau Analyzer. The software has an English interface. , but it doesn't matter because other functions don't need to be used.

If the CD in the virtual optical drive is automatically loaded after opening the software, there is no need to load it manually. If it is not loaded automatically, then we load it manually.

Click the + on the left side of the software, and the software will load the CD. Then click → on the left side of the software to start detecting the CD. The detection time varies depending on the configuration of the personal computer. When testing, you can go to the Bubble Forum and come back.

After a while, the detection is completed. If it is really a lossless format, then the result of the software detection is CDDA. If there is an audio track displayed as MPEG, it means that it is a lossy format such as MP3. The converted APE is fake!

Hope to adopt
