never playing mp3s on my system again

[Lil_KB 10+ year member]

Yeah, I bought Young Jeezy - The Inspiration today... big difference from the 128kbps bit rate copy I had.
If Best Buy sold all new CDs for $9.99 like this CD I picked up today, I'd never pirate music again!

what bit rate is the official album?

i got it from a download site and all of them are 200+ kbps, the highest being 241 kbps....

store bought cd's are wave format, not mp3.

kc is correct, they're in WAV format, which is 1411kbps I believe.

16 bit * 44.1 kHz * 2 channels = 1411

****...i didn't realize it was that big of a difference....i haven't bought cds in a store in forever...thanks for teaching me something new though...

frankie your avatar is toolish //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif but yes i agree

as long as you agree with the substantive portion of the thread.

is it toolish bc i am a huge dude and i picked an avatar that illustrates this as such, OR is it toolish bc u think its just some random dude.

let me tell u one thing bro, i work out 9 times a week, and have been for many years, and as much time as i spend on here, i spend a lot more on the powerlifting forums.

why not just use the same avatar?

Most of the MP3s I dl are better quality than CDs and none are that much worse...

Weak shit. Last time I tried a few months ago, I could bench my weight (and I'm a big guy) hahaha //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Nice car man. I just helped my friend install a system in his 02 manny ****** A4 today. Its definitely a fun car...

yea,, i vouched never to burn dvds any more since i got my 55" hdtv in my room. yea its free if you rent and copy,, but id rather just spend the 14 and get the case and movie... But on the mp3 standpoint,, yea there is a difference and all. but after i listen to a song so many time, ill never want to listen to it again, so buying cds is out of the question for me. but, i have bought aenima, 10,000 days, pink floyd the wall. in the past month...

at first, i was gonna ***** u out in the overly eloquent and well-structured way in which i did on the last of my threads u popped up on.

however, in the past month, i have also bought aenima, 10,000 days, and floyd's the wall. the odds of that are pretty ridiculous.

i am not an angry person, but i get pretty heated pretty quick when someone f*cks with me while i am driving. i have had a fair amount of professional driving education in my life. it started at the skip barber racing school in CT the first time i went, and have had opportunities to drive on a paid/professional level (think "professional driver, closed course" at the bottom of every car commercial that shows them whipping around turns) although ill be honest and say that i have never actually followed thru.

that said, 2 times i have gotten out of my car in road-rage related incidents (try not to make the obvious joke and say, "dont u mean 'roid'-rage related incidents) only to instantly cool the f*ck down when i saw that the driver of the other car was a metalhead. one time, the guy had a metallica 'kill 'em all' shirt on. the other time, the guy was blasting slayer.

basically, not only am i not pissed at u making fun of me on another thread, im saying ur cool.

if u had told me u were cool from the start, i wouldnt have said a word. we're brothers in metal!

i mean, what are the odds that we both thought those specific albums were worth buying/re-buying bc we wanted them to shine on our systems, nevermind the ridiculous odds that we would buy/re-buy those 3 albums for any reason.

ur welcome to come to NY any time an visit now, and you are always welcome to crash at my apt. any herb i got is yours to burn, and if u think any of my cousins are hot, just say the word.

i mean, what are the odds?

i also bought the last 2 albums by All That Remains, Waking the Fallen by Avenged Sevenfold (poorly produced but a noticeable improvement over mp3 format), Ghost Reveries by Opeth, and a few others.

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif you can't improve quality in any way over the original. the best you can hope for is to keep the same quality.

there's nothing wrong with working out. frankiebones sounds like a pretty intelligent person. some would interpret his avatar as being extremely self absorbed. some don't care.

 

[Exploder 97 10+ year member]
