Unfortunately, my experience causes me to disagree with this. I have a
number of friends that are really into music, but somehow are unable to
hear anything wrong with 64kbps WMA. Yes, 64. They burn me CDs of
stuff to listen to that has been ripped and burned with WMP, and I have
to just throw them away. I cringe when I go to their houses or ride in
...
To be fair, this one may not be a case of the evil corporations gulling
the impressionable consumer... a lot of us have blown our hearing out
with years of live music, headphones, &c. Spend a few evenings pogo-ing
in front of a stack of amps turned up so loud that you have trouble
breathing through the sympathetic vibration and 64 kbps WMA will
probably sound good to you too :)
