Slimy Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 i wonder if people are going to start converting to higher and higher bit rates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ring0 Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 i still see most things in 128, but i prefer to go with a high-rate variable rip or just straight 320 if i'm in a rush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickFinlay2 Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 128 would probably be most common,tho i like at least 192 or VBR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chacho Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 128 is definitely the most common, but i prefer 192-256 or VBR. 320 would take up too much space with the amount of music i have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearded Kirklander Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Most people I know use 192 bit Constant for their MP3's. I use 160 bit constant with Fast Fraunhofer in Music Match 7.5. I can hardly tell the difference between 160 and 192 with that codec. I believe 320 bit constant is the highest possible with normal MP3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 128 is the "king" for sure, probably because of the smaller size but 192 is catching up with faster and faster internet connections becoming available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krmathis Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Apple Lossless (variable bitrate, normally 700-900Kbps)! (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanekiwi Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 vbr :yes: losless encoding is dumb. eats up so much space you can use the audio cd instead :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kagaku Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 q7 Ogg Vorbis. Produces files that are around 12mb a piece on average, and sounds as good as any lossless codec in my opinion. Anything lower should be a crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nexx Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 192kbps VBR LAME :yes: Would make the switch to Ogg Vorbis if only my portable media supported it :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecander Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 320 Constant...Then again I do have 500Gb of storage :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kagaku Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 192kbps VBR LAME :yes: Would make the switch to Ogg Vorbis if only my portable media supported it :( Grab a Rio Karma. It plays all of my Ogg Vorbis and FLAC files right out of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearded Kirklander Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Grab a Rio Karma. It plays all of my Ogg Vorbis and FLAC files right out of the box. I still don't have a typical MP3 player. I have one of those $29 CD-RW walkman type players where you burn your MP3's to a CD-R or CD-RW and put the disk into the player and listen that way. Yes, it is a bit bulky by comparison, but it gets great battery life, uses standard AA batteries that are cheap to replace, and only costs me $29. That's not so bad, is it?
