my mp3's are at least at 128kbps...sure 128kbps is not enough for a pro music listener but may do the work in everyday listening...for years i used to convert my mp3's to 128kbps due to memory lacking of my mp3 player but all of a sudden i realized the issue that quality ALWAYS should be prefered and now that i know the fact,i'd never waste my time listening to mp3's having bit rate less than 160kbps........
those times i couldn't realize the difference between 128 and higher,and had been kept saying there is not much difference especially when using portable speakers or mid-quality earphones(ofcourse i knew i was cheating myself but couldn't help it coz wanted more music with me)...now that i have a 1GB M2(still not enough though,but at least would handle a 2-3 day mood) i clearly see the priority of quality and now that i'm not cheating my self no more,the difference shows itself...

so take my advice,the higher the bit-rate of mp3 is,the more you enjoy your music(even if you can't realize the difference)...
so curiouse just wondering how come 2GB is not enough ???definetly you would not listen to all these gigs periodicaly in few days.all 2 gigs are not in the same mood and the mood of a certain music doesn't come back everyday,then i would have changed my music through pc every 3-4 days if i were in your shoes(as i'm doing so...)

thanks...


+ : i'm hopefully looking forward to seeing days when i can store my 280GB music archive on my M2 Memory stick at once and having all of it with me when i insert the memory stick into my k800( ofcourse in those days i have nor k800 niether M2 )

i suggest
160kbps with 48000hz
or
192kbps with 44100hz


difference is 192kbps is larger by 1mb (song was 4.77mb from the 160kbps - now its 5.72),,dont see much difference but its better than selecting 256,320kbps for your phones music

80kbps contstant or vbr is the minimum for good enough quality running 44khz anything below pah is like listening to radio quality

96 Kbps(radio quality) will do enough for me, 128Kbps is the standard CD quality. if you are not so buffy with audio quality, you can hardly discern the differences between the two.

The claim that 128Kbps is "CD Quality" is rather optimistic to say the least. 320Kbps is what's called "Near CD quality". The only thing you can call "CD Quality" is the uncompressed audio stream ripped digitally off a CD.

I just don't understand the question.
Actually, I do, just, that question is valid if you're encoding from CD, otherwise the quality can only be degraded, not improved.
Re-encoding from 128 to 192 or higher has no effect, since the source is lower quality. So, by re-encoding the lower bitrate file to higher bitrate file, you simply get the fila that takes more space, and has the same quality.
Peace...

128kbps MP3 at 44000Hz is enough for me.

i encode all my mp3's in 320 or 256Kbps, but i'd say the lowest you can go to for general listening on the move is 128Kbps at 22khz

at 128kbps you are basically deleting 90% of the original CD data, and all the sounds it thinks the human ear cant hear anyway. it simply guesses what should fill in the gaps!!!!
