Default Re: compressed music files

There are many types of compression. Some of them are lossless and some of them trade sound quality for size reduction. If you open up a song in winamp and see it playing at 128 kbs you are not going to hear a difference on a normal stereo. A really nice stereo will show the difference. I encode all my music at 160 kbs or greater. The files are slightly larger but there is a noticeable difference on a good (polk/infinity/etc) floor system.

More later time is precious.
