Of course, MP3s can be compressed to greater or lesser degrees and this can be misused. If you use a setting intended for spoken voice recordings for orchestral work it is going to sound terrible. If you the same setting for spoken voice it will sound fine and it would be silly to use higher settings. Different kinds of music (pop vs orchestral) call for different settings too. When you encountered a bad MP3 did you look at its specs? You may be condemning MP3s with too broad a brush. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
