> [@boxxa](#): > > I would love to do a study on if the human ear can detect the difference between bitrates. Obviously 64 and 192k there is a different but I really would like to see where the top is. There have been studies done, I don’t have links but I know I’ve read some over the years. My fiancee acquired a Black Eyed Peas song from somewhere and it was at 128kbps, I could 100% tell it was at a lower bitrate. ---

Hard to judge mp3 quality when the music is that terrible. ---

> [@boxxa](#): > > I would love to do a study on if the human ear can detect the difference between bitrates. Obviously 64 and 192k there is a different but I really would like to see where the top is. It’s fairly easy to hear the difference between 192K or lower and 320 CBR’s. The difference can be even bigger when you start talking about VBR stuff, at least on some types of music where the VBR is not very seamless. 320CBR MP3 is fairly good, and the files are tiny. I’d run that over V0 or any likely transcoded 128/160/192 CBR MP3 crap. The system is more often the limitation than the human ear. You might be surprised how easy it can be to determine the difference between a quality 320CBR and 16/44.1 lossless rip. ---

Obviously 64 and 192k there is a different but I really would like to see where the top is. we tested in the studio, 320 vs wav - and all my friends could tell almost every time. i was behind the speakers so i couldnt really hear, but yeah…they nailed it 5 out of 6 times. ---

Spotify is awesome. I have the $10/month subscription and it has completely removed the need for any cd’s or downloaded songs. Bluetooth connect in my car just makes it that much better. ---

> [@ProgRocker](#): > > Sorry I’m ProgRocker on SoulSeek. Just an FYI, you may want to use an unique username on a file sharing website. Not one that can be easily traced back to your identity using simple Google searches. I am subscribed to torrent release groups for TV shows and that is it. Netflix streaming for older episodes worked awesome IMO and has what I want. Movies its Usenet. ---
