Good question. Sadly, the answer is not as easy as you'd think > people are interested in the higher bitrate stations, but does this > determine quality alone ? It might, but then again might not. There is a large world of arguing about what codec sounds best. All things equal, more bandwidth should sound better. But its not that simple. When WMA came out, Microsoft claimed that WMA at 96kb sounded 'better' than MP3 at the same rate. Most music sounds better with VBR rather than CBR (variable, changes with the music over constant). A lot of music sounds better encoded with MP3PRO and played back with normal MP3. The ogg folks claim that they sound better than MP3 or WMA I'm sure that there are more variations that I don't know about -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
