Hi CBFryman2,Ripped CD's at a high bitrate + good quality CD's and burner = no detectiable difference in home or in car.
Even 128K MP3 is an improvement over FM.Also wondering, how does mp3 stack up against FM Broadcast?
Yes and yes. If you have enough disk space on your computer/MP3 player, then go with lossless.Please forgive my elementary question, I'm an audio noob.But just to make sure I'm reading this correctly..... from the info originally posted.... it looks like WMA Lossless is the way to go?
And the sound quality diminishes and the # of kbps on an mp3 decreases?
Any helpful info or comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
I like you, you're funny.Can you test the ATRAC3plus format through SonicStage digital music manager and post the test results? I run ATRAC3plus and ATRAC Advanced Lossless, so I am interested in seeing how they stack up to MP3, WMA, and the original source quality. ATRAC3plus and ATRAC Advanced Lossless are both Sony's proprietary formats, and are, from what I understand, supposed to be superior to both MP3 and WMA. According to Sony, ATRAC3plus is to MP3s what CDs were to tapes, so I want to see if that is true. Test the ATRAC Advanced Lossless and ATRAC3plus all the way down to 63.475kbps, which Sony says is the smallest bitrate ATRAC3plus can compress a CD to. The difference between ATRAC Advanced Lossless and WMA Mathematically lossless is ATRAC Advanced Lossless can run as low as 64kbps, while WMA Mathematically Lossless is a minimum of 800kbps. ATRAC Advanced Lossless @ 64kbps makes a file size of 30MB for a 4-minute song, while ATRAC3plus @ 64kbps creates a file size of 1.9MB for a 4-minute song. I have good ears, and it is almost impossible for me to tell the difference between 64kbps ATRAC3plus and the original source CD.
Hahahaha, do this experiment. Take a 10.0 MB song.mp3, and convert it using winzip. The resulting song.zip is... ta dadadaaaa ... (snare drums...) 9.8 MB!!!hmm. why are there differences between the original and the lossless compression. lossless compression should give exact results, anyone disagreeing should look at the proliferation of ZIP, ARJ, BZIP, ect... files out there.
