I'm not kidding, I just like to be able to listen to my music in full quality. None of that 128kbps crap.

i can convert all my music to cd quality and put it on my ipod, it would just take up a ton of space, still 2 gb worth of cd quality music is better than 700 mb worth

Apple iPods and some other mp3 players support lossless codecs, which are an exact reproduction of a CD without the silent bits (which aren't needed) ...

So on an 80 GB iPod Nano for example, you could fit approximately 200 CDs in a lossless format.

200 CDs in something 1/4 the size of your CD player > your CD player

^ exactly but i compress all my music to 128 kbps still sounds pretty good on my stereo system

Stereo · Post by **Stereo** » 18 Nov 2006, 21:13

I use 192kbps. Didn't notice a single difference between that and 320kbps.

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 18 Nov 2006, 21:19

yea i think anything higher than 128 or 160 depending on your converting program is useless. i cant tell the difference but maybe others can

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 19 Nov 2006, 02:02

I certainly can. Anything below 256kbps is unbearable, but I still prefer lossless (~1,000kbps).

Stereo · Post by **Stereo** » 19 Nov 2006, 04:14

iTunes tracks are 192kbps I assume... They have good quality.

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 19 Nov 2006, 07:56

they might be 192 not sure all i know about them is that they are in the stupid .m4a format

I made a silent preview of the Sansa e200. (e260 for me)

BS.

Ive got songs produced on my PC that are only 3 minutes long and are 10 mbs big.

WAV > All

What's BS about being able to pick bad sound quailty?

I agree, anything below 256 is getting bad. 192 is my limit. However I can't pick any difference between 320 and lossless; not mith my speakers anyway.

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 20 Nov 2006, 06:36

for me anything below 128 is bad, no matter what 128 and up still sound the same on my yamaha

Cpt.Razkit · Post by **Cpt.Razkit** » 20 Nov 2006, 07:28

Most of my music on my Gigabeat is either 192 or 320. I cant tell the difference, but i am using sony headphones. I use my cell phone now more than my mp3 player...lol

korge · Post by **korge** » 20 Nov 2006, 13:10

Truly.. You cant hear the difference in bitrate below 192. Its all about how your speakers interperate the sound. Some sound better than others... some dont sound good at all.

You mean *above* 192kbps, surely..

is there any benefit to aac over mp3 b/c im thinking of converting my collection to aac ?

korge · Post by **korge** » 20 Nov 2006, 23:37

depends.. Do you use an ipod or mp3 player?

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 21 Nov 2006, 00:33

I never said I could tell the difference between Lossless and, say 320+, I just said that I prefer lossless.

Is there any program that converts songs up to a higher quality, or does it have to be made high quality?
