What bitrate are most of your mp3's

Hey Limesqueezer

What do you mean by "quote my ballz ignorant" was that a typo ? or bad English ?

I am sorry you are wrong about 20mhz that is a frequency and 128 kbps is a bit rate. The two are different units. As are dollars and miles.

I sometimes find it hard to tell much difference between 128 and higher rates, but this near CD quality thing is a fallacy.

I played some MP3's in a large workshop as entertainment for some staff, and then others played real CD's through the same equipment and the real CD's have a greater "ambience" they some how sound fuller, whereas my Mp3's sounded flatter.

Anyway as regards my bit rates.

Most of mine are 128, but any new ones I rip or d/l at 192. I'm not into VBR.

All of them are 320, I love the quality of my music, and even if it's practically impossible to tell the difference between 320 and certain smaller bitrates, it gives me bragging rights

192 or over

most of my mp3 have a various bitrate of 256

All the main music i get i make sure its 192 128 at the lowest, but for some of that rarer older stuff its like 96

In the past couple years I've followed a strict "192 and up" rule when perusing Soulseek. However, the difference in quality between 192 and 320 is certainly apparent in most of the music I listen to and with storage being so plentiful and inexpensive these days I may very well up the limit.
