No WEB edition can be found here for this particular release.
Can it be added?
Thanx!
Don't use terms you don't understand. It's WEB (i.e. digital version purchased & downloaded from junodownload.com store). If you need MP3 then it's not too long/hard to download these 2 tracks in FLAC then convert it yourself.
Or wait a bit, probably HB will do it for you soon.
I meant WEB in the title. So, yes, mp3.
Not 1 FLAC release carries the tag WEB.
Of course I know that FLAC is also digital. It's even better than mp3.
I was curious for the WEB ( mp3 ) release because the tracks in this version does not sound as loud as other Enzyme X WEB ( mp3 ) ones.
WEB means the SOURCE of the release/track (digital download vs. vinyl/CD rip) and AUDIO FORMAT (matches track's file name extension) can vary from lossless (WAV/FLAC/APE/AIFF/etc) to lossy (MP3/OGG/AAC/etc) for any of these sources. WEB doesn't mean it has to be MP3, vinyl rip doesn't mean it can't be FLAC.
Overall track's loudness is defined by its waveform and mastering applied. WEBs are indeed (re)-mastered to sound generally louder than vinyl rips (modern remasters - usually much louder) but that doesn't make a WEB stop being a WEB if overall track's loudness is not up to your expectations/preferences. Just as it doesn't make a vinyl rip (at least those that're not sold in WEB shops) if someones remasters/amplifies it by himself in some sound editor (or though MP3gain application for MP3).
In other words: this FLAC release is what junodownload sells. Unlikely but _maybe_ bandcamp's or other shop's WEBs are mastered differently but there won't be any differences in loudness if you convert this FLAC to MP3 by yourself or buy/get otherwise MP3 version of it from the same junodownload.
Quality explanation!
I converted to MP3 but I couldn't open FLAC with my audio program so I had to record both songs with it in order to make the conversion.
It was then that I saw the visualization of the file wasn't the same as most of the MP3-releases I occasionnally open from time to time.
Many of those have the volume meters of my audio program running in red.
And that wasn't the case with this release. The parameters for recording audio ( that travels through my sound card ) is set to 100% so this could not be the reason.

Obviously red means good. Reading some basic FAQs about audio is strongly advised.
I use Adobe Audition 1.5 build 4124.1
Yeah I know, pretty outdated software. Newer versions will probably be able to open FLAC.
Program is used for basic audio editing but can also playback a track once it is opened.
RED = WIN!
Then more red you see then more cooler your track is! Remember GREEN means bad, RED means good!
Nvm, lol, learning and thinking was too hard for him, he just got it already converted into mp3 at xprm.net, so it turned back to usual d/l link clicking.

I was referring to "D" in the picture you will find in this link.
As you can read for yourself: "If amplitude is too low, sound quality is reduced; if amplitude is too high, clipping occurs and produces distortion."
That is what I meant with "running in red".
... which means exactly what Belladona hinted: red = bad (clipping and sound distortion) for your other "most of the MP3-releases I occasionnally open from time to time".
Level meters shouldn't exceed 0 dB mark to avoid clipping, that's max volume/wave amplitude level before you start to sacrifice quality for the sake of track's overall default loudness. Tho with more complex mastering techniques clipping can be avoided while making the track sound even more louder - but then again, the sound balance between quiet and loud track's parts gets broken (that's when some MC's narration is too loud and the main beat/bassline is too quiet and unless you dynamically adjust volume throughout track's playback you can't get something in-between).
