I only download 192kbt MP3 encoded with LAME or that frohoffer(whatever) pro, NO XING.

Ogg Vorbis is not bad from what I have played around with it, seems like 128 avg VBR ogg is about equal to 192 MP3 with smaller file sizes. Would like to see someone do a good examination on it.

Monkey is CD perfect but only about 50% reduction.

VQF died about 3 years ago.

MP3pro and MP3+ are just crap in my opinion.

WMA is a joke, only at same bitrate as MP3 does it sound as good and the file size difference is negligable.

OGG will maybe someday win out but everybody who thinks they know anything knows the term MP3 and as soon as OGG gets better software support, it may take off. However, with larger harddrives and prices always going down, the file size advantage of OGG does not mean much when 192 MP3 is just about CD transparency. Also, I am not a big fan of the VBR MP3, it does not improve sound quality, only smaller file size.

    • Population especially in high density areas creates more heat and more humidity. This can be noticed in an indoor arena or concert room which heats up when the room or arena fills with people, without air conditoning to cool it down, Watering of lawns creates more humidity as the moisture from the watering rises into the atmosphere, creating a more humid condition. The again, depopulating an arena or room after an event will drop the temperature inside. Desert areas are less humid for a number of reasons, including a lower population density. Tel Aviv has horrible weather, unless you like it hot and humid. Summer days are regularly 90+ F with humidity well over 70%. It is probably not as bad as Mississippi but still it is bad enough.

    • I hear you on browser password manager, in my case I have two Google profiles, one was created when Google decided to grandfather us out of Workspace for Domains (with the replacement being too expensive for 25 users) resulting in my domain email address no longer being able to be registered to a new Workspace I created (for myself and another co-owner) so I could use Takeout and sync over some stuff to the new Workspace. Then I have my personal Google profile which I could be logged into on my desktop or Mobile, so I am saving passwords on one or the other, and when an URL changes another password for the same service gets added, it basically ends up being a giant mess. Unless I missed something is there a local decent password manager that can override the browser password managers for Chrome, Edge, Firefox (profiles) so that there is only one vault, and does that also support Passkeys (which to me are still confusing because sometimes it will ask for a Passkey on a phone I am no longer using!) Microsofts implementation of Passkeys is the worst!
    • It's utterly baffling that we have no idea when we'll get new features even well after they've been released. Why Microsoft thinks this is a good rollout strategy is beyond me.
    • If it makes anybody happy, others will need to be bitter about it. (apologies to Yogi Berra)
