Ugh, this is why I F***ing hate wavpack. Lossless codecs with a lossy option shouldn't exist.
Pretty sure this isn't lossless at all, even 1960's stuff has a higher bitrate. (~500-600)
Oh god and I just noticed the mp3 rar is actually bigger.WTF is going on here.
Edit: just ranted to a friend on irc, because even aucdtect was telling me it's 100% cdda, and he replied:
[08:27] <Xuse> Wavpack is gay
[08:27] <Xuse> It can trick aucdtect
[08:27] <Xuse> It's almost DESIGNED to trick people
[08:27] <Xuse> wavpack developers are fucking faggots
[08:28] <Xuse> Why did you have to bring that up
[08:28] <Xuse> now i'm pissed off
Edit 2: just checked the file properties... "WavPack normal, hybrid"
Hybrid mode gives you a seperate file with the rest of the track information, YOU DID NOT INCLUDE THEM. Without the secondary file you left out, hybrid mode encodes are just fancy mp3s.
Please do the lossless community a favor and stop using wavpack, and flood the devs telling them to remove the lossy option, there's too many garbage formats already. I'm tired of constantly finding fake wvs labeled as lossless.
Here, download it from the source (

http://www.wavpack.com/wavpack-4.50.zip). Then you can encode the wavs with any lossless codec you prefer.
