Problem is with a bitrate of 96 in wma gives same sound quality as 128 in mp3.. Yes it is windows music format but like I said it will be the standard soon enough we all know it will "We are microsoft you will be assimulated" Sorry had too -----Original Message----- From: neil barnes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2002 9:56 AM To: Libretto Subject: RE: making MP3s to fill ymnew HDD [LIB] Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2002 15:46:15 From: "neil barnes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: making MP3s to fill ymnew HDD [LIB] >Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2002 07:10:26 -0600 >From: "phillip ramirez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: RE: making MP3s to fill ymnew HDD [LIB] > >Just looked it up and it will support id3 and it will convert to mp3 or >wma..

Its cd quality MPEG II layer 3 is a published (though strictly, not free) format - 128kbs is fine for most music but it will usually cut the high frequency to 14kHz at that bitrate - you will be fine with 384kHz though even for the most delicate of orchestral or opera. (Mine is all recorded at 128kbs). I don't know wma - is this the windows music format? If so, avoid like the plague - the last thing we need is another proprietary file format. On philosphical grounds, I'd probably use Ogg Vorbis if I were ripping today.
