At what bitrate do you call mp3s acceptable? Or... Do you only BUY :nervous: your records??
I have f*cking no idea if this is posted before:D

| It's not all about the bitrate, the encoder used makes quite a difference as well. A crap encoder will make even 320kbps mp3 sound crap whereas a good encoder can make a 112kbps mp3 sound good. |

That's true, however I recognize it merely as some crackle and probably also distortion but NOT in general. They're "Little errors" that are pretty anoying! :mad: |

| most of the mp3s ive ripped off my CDs are 128 to save space. anything less than that. when i have room to spare though, i go to 225 |

I guess I second that. However, I once listened to a 128 kbps mp3 version of Dido - Don't Leave Home. And when I really focus on the high-hats, I'm like...:nervous: :mad: |

| Almost every track which I use is in 192 Kbps bitrate and the quality is good, so I think it's enough...:) |

192 for me.
I use iTunes for my encoding btw.
I can still listen to 128, but it's noticably different for me. 192 sounds good enough to me, it's not quite wav or vinyl quality but it's decent, and I don't want to take up any more space on my disk. |
