MP3 Players: iPod / iriver / Zen
MilkmanDan:
Jesus fucking Christ! You use 96kbps MP3's? I'm seriosuly not an audiophile, I can't tell the difference between a VBR MP3 and a CD most of the time, but 128kbps / 192kbps is a really, really noticable difference. I don't have anything at 96kbps, but it can't be pretty. And for reference a full WAV is 1411 kbps, and lossless (eg. Flac) is around 800kbps. As a side note, my friend who is a full on audiophile (he won't listen to MP3's at all) tells my Metal suffers from compression worse than anything than Electronica. So, uh.
Now you know.

Ah, of course, I forget that it's in stereo, so 705600 bits per second x2 = 1411200 bits per second, and they must be using 1000 bits for a kilobit (that might be standard, actually, it's probably only bytes that it's 1024)
_grace_:
don't you have to have a special program to put songs onto an ipod? (itunes)
is it like that with all mp3 players? (big ones, not the pissy little ones like Shuffle)
KharBevNor:
Zen basically loads as another drive on your pc, and you just drag and drop using the folder sidebar.
_grace_:
that's pretty good. no attatched software. i've never heard of Zen though, maybe they're not in Aus.
