I am not going to participate in this thread if it goes past here, but
i'll say this:
in the grand scheme of things, high-bitrate mp3 (192+kbps) and cd quality
both suck ass pretty badly. 44100hz/16bit just isn't that good to begin
with. armchair audiophiles debate lossy compression vs the uncompressed
originals, but when you're talking cd-quality it doesn't much matter.
sure, anyone can tell the difference between a 128kbps mp3 and the
original. when you encode at 192 or 256kbps though with a good encoder,
anyone who claims to hear the difference is lying. google for a program
called "winabx" if you don't believe me.
