Can you back these statements of yours up?

Try encoding a 128 bitrate mp3 to 64k and see if you notice any difference in sound. Or take a 196 mp3 and convery it to 128 .ogg.
Unless your some snotty audiophile who buys $5000 speakers and freezes your cds before you listen to them, the quality should be fine.

I did, and I did.

I don&#39;t consider myself snotty - and my speakers cost a fraction of that amount - but I did notice a drop in sound quality.

The mp3 to mp3 was nearly unlistenable - the conversion to ogg was much better but still noticable (particulaly with acoustic guitar and cymbals).
Advising dmorgan89 to try ogg was a good call, but it is misleading to say there&#39;s no difference in quality.

I never even heard of freezing CDs before playing. That&#39;s just plain weird.

64k mp3 vs 128k ogg... not hard to guess which will sound better considering the ogg file has double the bitrate of the mp3 if you&#39;re going to even attempt a comparison you normally should try using the same bitrates in each format

oh and i have a &#036;189 (CAD) stereo as my computer speakers and i can notice the difference between 320 & 192.... does this make me some snotty audiophile??

peace,
Mastia.z&#33; :music1:


also... can someone remind me what CD&#39;s are again? htink i heard of them once before

So in conclusion, you made it up.

I have a friend who is limited on his hdd space, but he has a lot of mp3&#39;s. What can I convert these files to save space on his hard drive. Should i switch them to vma?

I say burn them to cd (As data)

Don`t transcode them...
