RE: Audio file quality Just for the record - ANY DIGITAL AUDIO FILE IS 'MISSING' INFORMATION Look at the sine wave (the graphical representaion of a signal - it's signature) and you will see a continuous series of peaks & valleys far above & below the centerline OR baseline reference. The digitization of the signal wave imposes a cut-off point somewhere above & below the baseline. This flattening of the signal streamlines the conversion process & reduces the amount of captured data OR filesize. The wider the parameters OR the greater the bitrate - the more signal you save. BUT, you never save the complete harmonic range even at the highest capture rate - so you lose some signal - maybe imperceptible to most people on little tiny boxes with earphones but still missing. Certain types of music/instrumentation suffers more than others like Indian sitar scores which create a harmonic range of seventeen tones instead of our (american/european) twelve tone scale. -- Lee Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Orlando FL-US Phone 407.830.4196 Grafix - Imagist - Designer - Digital FotoVideo Portfolios currently online <www.portfolios.com/leetaylor> <http://leetaylor.artistfolios.com>
