High quality mp3s are good in one sense but create a lot of problems.
Who are you making the mp3 for?
So you have a song and the file is 30MB. How long will it take other people to load the song on the internet? Also if they want to download the song it will take a lot longer.
Are you planning on making a CD?
You have all your songs done (10 songs total) and your ready to make a CD. You then find yourself having to go back and make all your mp3s over again at smaller quality. There is only 70MB on a music CD. Which makes me think that all the songs we listen to on CD must be at poor quality. |

I'm not quite sure I follow. Minutes and Megabytes are not the same. 70 minutes equals about 650 mb in data. |

Most players can only play up to 320 kbits anyways. So what's the point.
Besides you might as well use the wav-file if going there, it'll only be twice as big, and the quality would be endlessly better really. |

Apparently the quality of the sound improves tenfold compared to the wav file it's based on. |
It's called X-treme Fidelity, SoundBlaster's awful attempt at trying to convince non-audio people that you can re-master .mp3's to make them sound "better" than the original CD. For the sake of humanity, please don't buy into this.

5. SuperRip Your CDs Into 24-bit Xtreme Fidelity Music
With the X-Fi 24-bit Crystalizer and the X-Fi CMSS-3D features, you can now "SuperRip" your CDs into Xtreme Fidelity quality so that you can permanently enhance your music to sound better than the original CD.
If anyone can logically explain this to me, I'll be sold and completely amazed and then I'll shoot myself in the face. |

| I think with the way computer storage space and internet speed has gone in the last 5 years we wont need to worry about compressing our music because it will be easy to send and store 50mb per song. |

Haha cool!
I'll buy that one and let my 64kbps mp3s run thru the Xtreme-Fidelity-Assalizer and they'll sound like 192khz/32bit WAV

True. I remember back in the day, we used to download 20 mb video game demos and we'd have to leave them running for two days. Now we have games that take up 7 gigs and mp3s that take 30mb, and we download them in seconds. It might be possible in a near future that we don't need compression at all. Why not just use wave files like we use mp3s today. |

even if you could encode/decode an mp3 at 640 or some odd other number of kbps, the basis of the mp3 codec would still result in lesser quality than say for example... a 24bit, 192KHz PCM Wav format.
Ultimate quality comes from absolutely lossless, high-sample-rate and high-word-length formats... Not from a codec designed to reduce the file's fidelity.
Anything above 320kbps for MP3 is absurd and redundant and tedious and IMHO useless. |

yup.
I like that sound blaster idea. Look. We can magically make your 16bit audio CDs sound better in 24bit! It's a bigger number! So its better!
:rolleyes:
Mp3 compression is silly. Internet transer rates are so fast currently, and getting faster, that eventually we'll all be downloading WAVs anyway. |
