CTW Members Phil rr Posted February 12, 2004 CTW Members Share Posted February 12, 2004 does anyone percieve a real difference between these two mp3 bitrates? i can tell the diff between Cd and mp3 (not hard to) - cd sounds a bit clearer and sharper with "tingly" top frequencies (but i believe that's to do with the 44khz sampling, not the bitrate?), doesn't the higher bitrate just make it sound a bit "smoother" and more "polished"? doing a soulseek search....most pop songs seem to be encoded at 128kbps, while new dance tracks seemt o be 192.

CTW Members Mr Happy Posted February 14, 2004 CTW Members Share Posted February 14, 2004 QUOTE (Mod1 @ Feb 13 2004, 10:38 PM) anything below 160, sounds wank. imho yeah, but some mp3 players do repair the damage done from teh compression (to a degree of acuracy), so even at 128kbps the compression isnt as noticable.
