Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Audio file quality tests

["Joseph Ondrus" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I think it really depends on what you are listening to your music on, from my experience iPods cant reproduce the difference, but I have also not heard the newer generations so they may have increased the quality, especially if you are using the normal ear buds that come with them.  128 to 192 is very easy to hear, 192 to 320 to me is sometimes difficult to hear but on some music it is very easy to distinguish the difference.

Here's what I wonder about:  Can anyone tell the difference between MP3
encoded at 320 kbps and the original WAV?  Many people claim to have such
superior ears that they can tell the difference, but they never do a blind
test and a blind test is absolutely essential -- it is just too easy to be
biased in your evaluation.

Storing audio in FLAC format is very inconvenient because it takes up so
much disc space and so much bandwidth to transfer.  It would be great to
find out that you can't distinguish the FLAC from something 25% as large.
That would be great news -- think of the savings!
