Technically, it can't be, we're all talking about what you're feeding to the analgoue<->digital conversion chip. 1 bit sound is a joke, you couldn't represent anything but noise. 16 bit sound has much better quality than 8 bit, particularly in the high treble, because each sample has 256 times the precision. -Tyler -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
