Damn&#33; I wish I had your ears&#33; Man you must be super human if you can tell the difference between 128kbps mps and CD adio&#33; :lol: :lol: :lol: Why the hell not just download 45 megs of mp3 and get the full album? Or if you want a perfect copy of a album BUY IT&#33; Like I said, mr superhuman man, how can you tell the difference?

P.S. Can you hear my sarcasm? :lol:

Well GimpyDoodlyDoo,
if you talk about 128 I can tell the difference for sure, above all in the lower & higher frequency ranges.
It is different when comparing 320 and Audio CD, but 128 and also 192 are still poor qualities compared with CDs <_<

If you&#39;re used to compare using your PC Cd player/burner it is most likely true that you can&#39;t hear a big difference, but if you use a Hi-Fi the difference shows up clear.

Hope this helps & have a nice day :)

....very well trained musician&#39;s ears here... :rolleyes:

Ciao adthomp ;)

No, I&#39;m not joking and I didn&#39;t say 192 is absolute poor quality: I said it is still poor compared with CDs.

IMHO, 192 is the best "quality/file size" compromise: higher compressions lower quality and lower compressions increase the file size.
But again, 192 is NOT as good as CD quality. :rolleyes: ...only 320 can compete and 128 is definitely poor.

Please note : IMHO B)

Have a nice day &#33; :)

I agree that it is not wise using 320 because it occupies way too much space.
If you can&#39;t ear difference between 192 and 320 it is probably due to the hardware you use when listening to music, but you can try a simple test by ripping & burning a couple songs that you know very well in both 192 and 320 and then listen to them through the "phone" output of a Hi-Fi stand-alone MP3 enabled Cd or DVD player...
Hi-Fi circuits are very different and the performance is far better than the one you can obtain form the best CD/DVD player on a PC...

If you need to know what I talk about, that works for sure :)

Have a nice weekend &#33; :P

Hey MDB/nightcrawler - I don&#39;t think it&#39;s a stupid question. Some people have got better hearing than others, just like some people have more acute eyesight. And if you work in music, if you&#39;re a sound engineer, or if you&#39;re blind, then of course you&#39;re going to develop your hearing even more. No probs...

Fully agreed dfhsfgjdgjdg, but believe me, using the proper player the difference between 192 & 320 is cristal clear also for normal and not trained people.
Don&#39;t forget that CD/DVD players & burners installed on PCs were born for data, not for music, and they cannot perform like Hi-Fi devices because of their deep differences in circuits and components.
I could surely explain it better in Italian, sorry... :(

Take care &#33; :)

Wow Didnt Expect that many replies&#33;&#33;
Well Its Not Just About the sound quality which is pretty damn important if u ask me since i listen to alot of music at work but i also think it would be easier too.
Ive Lost count of the the amount of times ive tried to download an albums worth of mp3&#39;s and half of them turn out to be fake ,Poor Quality Not all there or tampered with in some way by some lamer with nothing better to do.
I think I would rather download a perfect image of a cd then do whatever i want with it without all the fuss and and frustration of finding the perfect mp3&#39;s

P.s Thanks For All the Replies
:blink: Night Crawler :rolleyes:
