What mp3 are You listening now?

"Within Temptation - Gatekeeper" - just getting into them, quite like what i'm hearing.

edit: oh its an .ogg, can i still post here? :p
 
"I wanna get off work so I can go home and listen to MP3's (and surf for pr0n)" as performed by Me
 
mp3 hurts my ears. No shit, it just sounds like WW2 radio to me, unless it's at least 320Kbit, which doesn't really make sense in terms of staorage savings.

Why not? 320k VBR/q=0 still results in far smaller file sizes than any lossless compression scheme.

Then you wasted way too much money on that audio system. :)

128K have clearly audible artifacts. Not always, but often. 192K is usually ok though for my ears.
 
atb - no silence, way out west - intensify, faithless - no roots and daily dose of biosphere

all of them are albums btw

Then you should never buy one. I can tell the difference between 320k and a CD very clearly. Maybe it's twenty-one years of making music that make the difference, dunno... ;)

MuFu: I mean in that case it's not worth the effort. For a portable mp3 player with, like, 128 megs you'll rather go for 128 k or even less.
