So-called is right! I have a *very* hard time beliving that! :)
At home, most of our MP3s are 192Kb/s (3/4 bladeencoded, 1/4 lame) that
have come off CDs in our communial collection.
There are a few mixed in of other bitrates. :)
When my GLF is playing music in the bedroom, and I'm in the living room,
I'll call out the bitrate when it's not 192. I've never mistaken a 192 for
a 128>= though I sometimes call a 112 128.
:) The audio system in that room isn't that good either. :)
I'd like to know what encoder they used to achieve those results at 128?
Did they perform A/B tests or did they just have various differnt tracks
and ask the listeners to pick the mp3ed ones?
