Just to be on the safe side (future proof and archival value), and since storage is becoming cheaper by the day, I have been using FLAC for quite a few years now. I can certainly spot the limitations of 128 kbps mp3s and very early in this game, I was very unhappy even with 256kbps encoded mp3s. But in the several years since I bothered to test, the encoding has obviously got a lot better. Are there any particular tracks that can showcase the limitations of todays best mp3 encodings (ie, 320 kbps or high VBR mp3s?) -- Nikhil ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nikhil's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=993 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44532 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
