What bitrate are most of your mp3's

[digmen1]

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.

i been trying to get at least 192 or above when i use torrents cause i can tell diff between higher and lower bit rates like 128 and 192 i notice a huge diff in car

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

[janneke]

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

320

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.

the largest majority are LAME --alt preset standard, because they're scene releases. the homemade rips are FLAC encodes.

I started with 128 to rip my own, but if I download it they are usually in a much higher bitrate. I like 128 b/c it takes up less HD space.
