Fun Stuff > BAND

Curse you, itunes! / Can I really tell the difference between bitrates?

<< < (5/7) > >>

John Curtin:
Have you ever visited a band's myspace before?  As far as I know Myspace music is 96kbps MP3.

Tom:
and just 'bout anything else on youtube.

casull:
I can tell up to a certain point... oink's standards were good enough for me. Even with grados through a good sound card and amp, I don't really hear differences too much past 192 VBR

Beren:
I'm ripping Vinyl into 320 now and convincing myself I can hear a difference on my headphones.

I'm so full of shit, though.

I don't think you're imagining it at all. I know a lot of people claim to not be able to tell the difference between 128kpbs and above but I simply don't believe people wouldn't be able to identify 96kpbs. There's a very audible difference in clarity.

Aye, all my stuff is ripped as 160Kbps AAC. It's a good balance between quality and file size, and I find metal doesn't compress well at 128Kbps.
