Aside from 1/2hour episodes of "The Shadow" or "Great Gildersleeve"
radio shows, is the greatest thing to happen in the 1990s totally
passe?

My personal mp3 download minimum is 192kbps. Â*For rips - 256 if it's
poppy stuff, 320 for jazz, classical, and stuff I just can't live
without. Â*

Seriously, I'm still finding a lot of "128"s on the web(mp3s encoded
at 128kbps). Â*Shouldn't such a low bitrate be outlawed?

Try encoding with AAC at 128kbits/sec and prepare to be pleasantly
surprised. MP3 is SO last millennium.

Will iPods and other mp3 players be able to play them?


iPods will. As for MP3 players - it depends.


and the same question proved to be a problem for Vorbis/ogg, a
