[QUOTE="ShakesAllDay, post: 3213686, member: 579099"] Most of the time, I can tell when I'm listening to a 160kbps or less mp3/wma. Lower bitrates have a weird *tingy* sound to them... very easy to hear the compression. 192kbps is much better and I believe it to be the best middle of the road bitrate (wrt SQ vs. file size). Personally, I find gigabytes too cheap to encode at anything less than 320kbps. The only problem w/ that is you can't fit as many files on a CD. I have yet to try any lossless format. [/QUOTE]
