I can find a huge difference between different bitrates of MP3.
But 320 and FLAC are pretty close in my opinion.
FLAC of course has the edge, so I like listening to it on the computer/burned discs,
but with my ipod I have to convert to MP3 and 320 is what I use for my 160GB ipod and v0 is what convert to for my smaller 15GB ipod/PSP.
FLAC is the best for backups since it's pretty much like having the actual disc, but that's definitely not the only reason people like FLAC.
Flac all the way
I can tell the difference between flac (if its properly ripped) and V2 VBR. Currently all scene music rips are V2, I wish they would upgrade to V0 :(
Its really really tough to tell the difference between V0 and FLAC or 320 and FLAC, but sometimes I can a little.
The real reason I like FLAC is that if I burn a CD for the car, or for my home stereo, I KNOW that its perfect quality as if bought in the store. With any lossy format I just feel like I might be missing something.
Usually v2,v0 are fine for me, I try to stay away from 320cbr, and I go for FLAC for really good albums that will stand the test of time.
I can tell the difference sometimes, but I only download lossless cds when the cd deserves it..
For some reason mp3. Sometimes FLAC.
320 sounds good enough for me, especially since there never seems to be enough hard drive space on my putter
i like my FLAC for my trance music, only then i can really tell the different :D DJ TIESTO at 900+ *orgasms* :whistling
I used to think 320 CBR is the best now my favorite format is V0 ...
