Windows 95 - Brian Eno - The Microsoft Sound

from the txt file: ========================== The Microsoft Sound by Brian Eno ========================== Enhancements done to the original version include among others: dual channels and full stereo restoration, addition of slight echo, remastering in 24bit, downsampling to included formats. Yes, all of this has been done from scratch (meaning: the source was the original crappy low quality "The Microsoft Sound"). --------------------------------------------------------------- FILES INCLUDED --------------------------------------------------------------- The Microsoft Sound Format: PCM (WAVE) Bitrate: 176 kbps Sampling: 8 bit Resolution: 22050 Hz Channels: 1 This is original "The Microsoft Sound" version, exactly as it is included with every Windows 95 disc. Yes, it is in MONO, low resolution and very low quality. Created by Brian Eno in 1995 certainly in much better quality, this version has been butchered by Microsoft and included exactly as is on their Windows 95 CDs and floppy disks. --------------------------------------------------------------- W95TMS-DS011121v4-CD Format: PCM (WAVE) Bitrate: 1411 kbps Sampling: 16 bit Resolution: 44100 Hz Channels: 2 Enhanced version "The Microsoft Sound" in CD-quality format.
