[QUOTE="EdMuse, post: 1276006, member: 564149"] Hey, one thing nobody seems to have mentioned is that mp3 files, by nature, don't sound as good as CDs. Remember that the reason you can fit so many mp3 files on a CD is that they are compressed. Now, some methods of compression are better than others, and as far as quality vs. file size goes, mp3 is pretty ****ed good. But any compressed file, be it audio, video or graphics, will not decompress at as good quality as an uncompressed file. So, before you go gutting your computer, make sure you're comparing apples to apples, here (and I don't mean the OS you're running). Toss a wav or aiff file on the computer, and compare that to the CD. Then, adjust the equipment from there. -EdM. [/QUOTE]
