k22 Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 pretty sure 320 is as good as it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinrich-X Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 I believe MP3 maxes out at 320, only thing higher is WAV (uncompressed) at 1154 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weasel Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 even the difference between 224 and 320 is indistinguishable to the human ear, I don't really see the point. :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxikk Veteran Posted March 3, 2002 Veteran Share Posted March 3, 2002 192k all the way. anyone know if a 192k file sounds tite in wma format? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KR0NiCBaKeD420 Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 winston: it was a wav.. not a mp3 :) either that.. or a very long song encoded at 320 or like a tv show or movie's audio made in a mp3 at 320 (which ive done b4) hehe :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koto Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 Or a long 80 minute techno mix. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Martini Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 if you are wanting higher than 320kbps in audio compression, i suggest you check out flac.. its a compressed wav format that is lossless. it's compression is nowhere near as good as mp3, but it sounds as good as the cd you ripped it from... http://flac.sourceforge.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambito Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 lame can do it! but there's no mp3 plugin (for winmap) that can play this mp3's (lame it's a free command line mp3 encoder jbtw :) pd: wma sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MytMowse Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 after 224 there isn't a noticable different. Don't give me that bs about how you can't tell. The difference between any birate. There is. I always and only get 192 and up. Nothing lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdkaneda Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 if you want to encode higher than 320kbps, you shouldn't look at mp3. look at a lossless coded like SHN or Monkey's Audio. they encode as much as possible without losing any of the original sound quality, and the result is ususally around 600-700kbps.

bhd Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 hell even 192kbit is high wtf would u want 320 fer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frod Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 instinguishable to the human ear? hehe. i can tell the difference between 256 and 320 mp3. especially in low end ranges. anyways... if you want pure quality (lossless) do what the guys have been saying and use Monkey Audio (.ape) or another lossless encoder. if you want to conserve file size but also want higher quality than mp3 you might want to consider Musepack (formerly MPEGplus). a Musepack file of the same file size as a 128 mp3 has the quality of a 256 mp3 (my friend did actual sound analysis tests for this fact). plus you get the bonus of full range frequency encoding (mp3 cuts off below 20 Hz and above 22 KHz i believe) and no artifacting or distortion. it's pretty cool but not that popular yet. the files are playable through a winamp plugin so you don't have to run out and d/l another useless program. you can goto www.musepack.net to get the files you need to encode/decode and playback if you're interested.

MytMowse Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 I'd love to hear some monkey audio, I should play with an encoder if I can find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhd Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 i guess if u have a real high tech system ud want to have something higher then 320 but even then u probley cant tell :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponsorless Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 Has anybody here heard about .SHN files???? I collect Pink Floyd Bootlegs and I only have mp3's but the other guys download .shn boots, and they say that they are a lot better. Don't know anything about them. I know a lot of people have them on Direct Connect and mIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElGato Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 mmm, Floyd Just try searching on Hotbot (my fav), http://www.etree.org/shncom.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomis_nehc Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 Frod: Wow, you must have one of those few gifted pair of ears. That or you crank your music up so high that you HAVE to hear the differences at such high bitrate. Personally, I can't tell the bitrate of the file if it's anything above 192kps cranked at acceptable decibel rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.dan Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 does it really matter? no audio recorded on a CD or anything goes over 3d so the quality owuldn't changew from 320 to lets say 390... dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxxCon Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 i belive mpeg1 layer3 spec is 320kbit max there are some music test samples which have artifacts even when encoded HQ320kbit. on the other hand, saying everything below 192 is **** is a bit silly. if your music is very quiet or alot of simple to encode sound forcing it to >192kbit is pointless and inefficient.
