Let me preface this by saying I know that is a stupid idea...
I am beginning to think that some of the FLAC files I have were once MP3s that someone had converted to FLAC, since they sound pretty terrible (even worse than some of the higher quality MP3s I have). Has anyone heard of people taking MP3s and converting them to FLAC, then distributing the "lossy" FLAC files?
Is there anyway to detect to see if this has happened? Is there some sort of signature you can look for in a file to see if it has been an MP3 in a previous life? I'd like to be able to purge my library of any imposter FLAC files.
