Similarly, not everyone can tell the difference between them. If you can't tell the difference between your current gears, it is always better to rip music in just a level higher in bitrate to be on the safe side. That way, you only wasted minimum space but better guarantee future compatibility. Of course, since you are using FLAC for archiving, you can rip it to the minimum spec to put more music onto your player.Tai / ClieOShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06397854823276676128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181224503986200286.post-48796475499234355592011-10-12T20:36:10.565+08:002011-10-12T20:36:10.565+08:00went through your article...i've been downloading & listening to music mostly Flac and Mp3-320kbps.Flac for archiving and ripping mainly.Some people say 198kbps vbr sounds same or sometimes better than 320kbps Cbr.. i couldnt find the difference in SQ..Infact recently i tested the track Men at work-who can it be Flac and Mp3-256kbps Cbr n couldnt find diff in SQ ...is there really a diff in SQ between say 192kbps vbr-256kbps cbr-320kbps cbr which my ears cant find or are Vbr and cbr both same SQ except file size diff...what do u feel :-)hzant6681http://www.blogger.com/profile/09071351538280838700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181224503986200286.post-28214024621919121472010-10-19T22:03:12.126+08:002010-10-19T22:03:12.126+08:00Excellent article which gives a very balanced and well-thought perspective.o.k.whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09235385718565524625noreply@blogger.com
