Again, someone else seems to be missing the point.

Let's examine overall quality, shall we?

Factors affecting quality of sound:

- Quality of the encoder's hardware (SNR, impedance, etc...)
- Quality of the encoder itself (Yes it's true, there ARE different kinds of mp3 encoders out there)
- Quality of the original source (AM Radio vs. FM Radio vs. XM Radio, etc...)
- Quality of the recorder's hardware.

Even if we ignore all of that and focus solely on bitrate, the bitrate argument is still irrelevant. Bitrate isn't always a measurement of quality, it's just a measurement of the encoding quality. Case in point: the 6 hour Sasha vs. Zabiela set generously provided by the thread starter. The hats sound horribly distorted, there's a thin layer of white noise enveloping everything, and the bass frequencies seem to have been run through a HP filter. Yet my decoder says it was encoded at 192K, even though it sounds closer to 96k. Re-encoding something from a lower bitrate to a higher bitrate does not magically make the quality go up, it just takes up more space.

You don't know for sure what equipment they're using, or if they even had a good signal or whatnot. You just don't know until you hear it.

And if that Sasha vs. Zabiela set sounded ok on your system, I'd say it's probably something on YOUR system. I'm not the only one complaining about the quality.

I didn't download this copy of the set, I just let it play in my browser, so I can't give you a number. Tiësto's set begins with I Found U, maybe two or three tracks after the U2 tune.

didn't get any of the sets, but if you want some tracklists from "mellomania", check out www.pedrodelmar.com (radio/tracklists on the bottom). that's where i got it.

didn't listen to the set, just copied and pasted the tracklist .... ;)
