uh whats that mean? lol

similar to "each to their own"

personal taste, you know...?

yes, there are alot of newer, better compression methods (FLAC, MPC, OGG, etc.) that everyone could be encoding with, rather than
dumb ol mp3....it's simply a matter of standardization. It's easier to distribute to a larger number of people when you can assume
that everyone knows how to open and use a particular file type. Go try to get a WMA player for your car.
Any other format could be inserted here.

But yeah. I agree. mp3 is rather old....and there should be some changes made to it, or everyone should start adopting another format.
But nobody seems to have an idea what it should be, everyone has their favorite (I like ogg).

but um....if you rip to mp3 with anything but EAC + Lame, you're not qualified to care.

as for a fast, good music player, try QCD.
you won't have any trouble getting used to it if you've used winamp.

If you wanna use your files on your computer, you can use whatever the hell kinda format you chose.... but if you're gonna be at SoulSeek and share albums with others; you better have 'em in mp3-format or people most likely won't be interested in sharing with you...

Here's an example:
Since I am a Norwegian, it would be easier for ME to use my mother's language, but to make this understandable for everyone I write it in English.... get it?

Oh ok, thanks.

Also..the ones I ripped of WMP sound GREATTTTT and are only like 2MB a song...They sound better then like 192Bitrate..whats up with that?

and

Amen lol Ok but everyone acts like the WMA is shit..but everything Ive ripped from there that is variable bitrate, or even 64bitrate sounds SO much better then 192bitrate MP3 that I get off of souldseek...whats up with that?

sorry, the last statement is bollocks. although a 64kbps WMA probably sounds better than a 64kbps MP3, there is no way that it sounds better than a 192kbps MP3. Unless of course, you love the sound of a stereo when you bubble-wrap the speakers and tune in to the radio.

the general consensus is that mp3 = good. wma = bad. there are other,more efficient audio codecs developed now, but it'll take a long time before they surpass the popularity of mp3.

the end.
