What does it matter, there's only one WAV and it's the control in the experiment.

Stop trying to be smart and take part if you think you can do it.

1411 kbps, the standard for CD audio.

I think he needs payment to be part of a study.



and drugs too...

when the majority of your crowd doesn't know too much about what you're playing much less possibly being drunk and not paying attention, playing out a lower bitrate isn't that bad. I could see being a big DJ and playing to a lot of people, then I'd try to have the best files I can get.

also, I find it strange that sometimes I have a file that might be 192 or even 128, but sounds so good, its like a 320!

do it please. i'd be interested in seeing if i can.

Read the rest of the thread. I created several tests and linked to them.

yea i know i saw that after. i'm waiting to do it when my bf gets home because he's got incredible ears and has a lot of experience with sound system installation with cars and setting all the specs, etc.. so it sounds "perfect".

car stereos are not exactly hi-fi.

as everybody seems to say, it depends on the speakers/headphones. can't tell on my speakers, can occasionally tell on my headphones (again, as mentioned, usually when back-to-back). car, no. a lot of the stuff i get to play with @ work, yes. it's separation b/w instruments & frequencies for me, and mostly in the mid-high ranges w/ percussion.

more sounds = more data. watch a blu ray on a player with video & audio bitrate display. watch them spike during high-action or quick-pan sequences. it's much easier to hear the difference in compression between recordings of a symphony or a mix than it is in, say, of a pop song with a synthesizer. that's not to say it can't be done, but that, at least from my experience, it's far easier.

I can't tell the difference between the 8 second mp3 and the 8 second wav files that you posted on my speakers at school, my friend's speakers (a bit better quality), nor on any of our headphones (range in quality from good to very good).

Have you ever done a blind test? Try the test JBJ posted at the start of the test and see how you go.

Gr��e Fr�ulein, Sturm-Verbot-F�hrer, I am a little 'MPEG-4, which sounds better than WAV or MP3, but I can not see the difference in all MPEG-4 and MP3, because it seems more stable and WAV 128KB MP3 320kb sugar because it is a zero-like 6x9s

I'm trying to understand why the BanHammer hasn't taken care of Robert Gates?

This is a WAV file made from a CD and various bitrates of MP3: http://www.philosophaster.com/music/test/Gabriel.wav 1411 Kbps (WAV) -- 320 MP3 -- 256 -- 192 -- 128 -- 64 -- 32 The same four bars play seven times at seven different descending bitrates. At what point can you tell the difference?

Fuck me, first difference I noticed was between 128 and 64.

If you played 320 and 192 one after another, I'd probably notice the difference (but barely), but just hearing a random track on any speakers I definitely wouldn't be able to tell.
