The death of audio
"Mats Peterson" wrote in message
... MP3 is ok for content with severely cropped frequency range, like old time radio, or otherwise if using sub-optimal equipment such as a portable player and el cheapo earbuds. But I always use lossless (CD or FLAC) at home with the hi-fi system. I find that it is helpful to consider only the subjective impressions of people who: (1) Compare MP3s directly to the .wav files they are made from (2) Have the means to make this comparison level-matched, time-synched, and double blind (3) Hear differences in a statistically significant percentage of the the comparisons (2) Turns out to be very easy using free software tools available for download from multiple sources. If one does that, concerns about audible differences are generally relate to issues other than high frequencies. |
