ALEX & EMMA (unreleased score by Marc Shaiman) (lossy/flac)

Alex & Emma was a 2003 romantic-comedy about a writer who has a month to finish a novel in order to pay off his gambling debts. He hires a plucky and opinionated secretary to help out and her candid input puts a new slant on both their lives. Director Rob Reiner used his favorite film composer, and Shaiman created another potpourri of light music: some charming moments, some breezy jazz, a little flamenco, a little salsa. No commercial soundtrack was ever released.

36 tracks (some short) for a total of 44:06 minutes (the artwork incorrectly says 33 tracks totaling 38:08).
Very good stereo sound. No dialog or sfx.
Sadly, Tau and EAC indicated all tracks on this disc to be lossy, but with very good sound (drop off is at 20,000 kHz.)
Disc was ripped to FLAC using XLD.

Can Lossy be FLAC?
All FLAC does is retain the audio quality of the original music. If the original music is lossy, it’s still lossy. To share this music online the disc had to be ripped to a digital format. I could have chosen lossy instead of FLAC, but then the music would be degraded even further since every lossy conversion removes more of the sound. With FLAC you get the music exactly as it is on the disc, and you can decide what format to convert it to based on how you plan to listen to the music. FLAC can’t make lossy music lossless—it can’t put back the music that was originally removed when the disc was created. That’s no worry if the original music was lossless (as on any commercial recording) but you can’t be sure with promos and such. The music on this disc turned out to be lossy (by way of an online analyzer) and I can’t change that. What I can do is decide whether to remove even more music by ripping it again to a lossy format, or keep it as-is by using FLAC.

FLAC, like AIFF and WAV, is a lossless format that will not remove music when being converted to. But that doesn’t mean the original music being converted is lossless.

I’ve done enough research to know a few things, but do not pretend to be an audio expert. Feel free to correct me!NOTE: This disc contains unreleased music. As of the upload date it had not been registered with the US Copyright Office. However, anyone with sufficient cause can request I remove the link by contacting me by PM or by entering a reply.
