Dear Group
I have put together a "MP3 Jukebox" in an attempt to make listening to music
simple.
I have a Lynx22 sound card in a good modern PC running Windows XP.
I rip my CDs using the lossless WMA format in Windows Media Player 10.
I still think the sound quality is lacking something.
Compareing the sound quality to a real CD player or DAB is clearly
noticable.
I wouldn't say its that bad but there is definatly somthing missing from the
sound.
I have found a good example of a problem; for some reason the guitar at the
start of "Van Halen - Ain't Talking Bout Love" sounds completely screwed up,
sounds all echoy and the level is very quiet. I downloaded several different
MP3s of this track and all have the same problem.
What the hell is Windows / Media Player doing to my sound?
Can anyone sugest anything?
Cheers
Samuel
