FLAC is better, however if you cannot tell the sound quality difference, there's no point in downloading a bigger file. V0/320kbs does the job for me.
hmmmm.......u have found FST but u dont know what the difference between a FLAC and MP3 amazing, well as far as i am concerned i only grab mp3's coz they are playable at my sound system which dosent plays any of the lossless formats be it flac, ape, or alac except WAVs but i look for flacs to download rather then mp3's coz many times if went technical and found that mp3's i downloaded were reencoded from mp3's with lesser quality so its basically not HQ mp3 its low quality instead which i cannot listen considering i already listening to lossy, i dl flacs and other lossless formats to re encode them to mp3 myself so that i can have "REAL" 320 kbps or V2 coz ripping from lossless is same as ripping from original cds's
He knows the difference between FLAC and MP3 in theory but he wanted to confirm the real "hearing" difference practically.You didn't understand what he meant,amazing.Originally Posted by whatcdfan
Almost all of my music collection consists of MP3 V0 with exception being some Classical Music which I wanted to burn to a CD to play in my car.
..... i also use flac.... but i wonder what is the best bitrate of mp3....
I discovered to my surprise that the MP3 player can indeed make a difference, as some don't play MP3s 100% perfectly all the time.
In my case, VLC Media Player (yeah, I know, It's not really an optimal MP3 player) played one note of a song badly, so I thought it was just a bad MP3. After I downloaded a different MP3, the bad note sounded exactly the same. So I tried an old copy of Winamp, and the note sounded perfect.
Lossless may be 'better' (theoretically) but it's pretty much pointless over vbr, unless of coarse some of you are autistic which seems to be the case here.
Does anyone know what exactly is compressed when you rip to FLAC compared to other lossless formats?
