> How much quality is enough for MP3 files?
Bookmark topic
Hi all
I have a question. I have a 2GB Memory Stick Pro Duo and I use it with my W700. But it's nearly full and I want to store more songs
I've uploaded all my songs in 192 kbps. My question is... is 160 kbps enough? The quality is (almost) the same? Is there a huge difference between 192 and 160 kbps?
I listen to music with the headset (included in my W700, I don't know the name
)
Thanks in advance

My suggestion for queries like this is always:
encode a song at various bitrates i.e. 96kbps, 128kbps, 160kbps and listen to each. Choose with your ears and encode accordingly based on your decision.

imo, if you use your music to listen on the phone, 96 is enough. but if you want to listen to music on your stereo via phone, 160 and more

Ok, I'll try that, thanks
BTW, in which quality are your MP3 files?
EDIT: I need more opinions people. To all the people that own a Walkman phone: in which quality you have your music? 192 kbps? 160? 128?

@antichrsit.
I really can not agree with 96kbps being good enough especially not if in MP3, but then i suppose not everyone has the same requirements for quality. Personally i wouldn't use the bundled headphones that came with my device either and would rather have quality over quantity any day. My set up is in my signature and i will listen to Music for 1 hour or two straight, if it wasn't of a good quality that would just be horrible. I encode @ 160kbps AAC which in my set up produces a full rich sound.

i agree with you, but can you feel the difference between 96 and 160 on phone? (i mean on speaker, not the headphones)
as you can see from the above post, i also want quality over quantity(that's why i even have some songs at 320)
sometimes i play music from my phone at parties; last friday i was asked to play some music in a small club from my phone since there was a problem at the computer with club's music. so quality all the way

@antichrist,
Oh the beauty of living in the digital age as otherwise how big a Record Box would you of needed to have that much Music with you and just happen to have it with you at that time.
But this is the point i am trying to make a phone should have a good enough player that if you encode your music in high enough quality and use good head phones it can can comfortably replace the need for a dedicated MP3 player as otherwise IMO what's the point. I could not dream of trying to listen to Music on any phones built in speaker as really it is designed for voice not for Music and the whole point of good headphones is they will sound better than speakers as everything is channeled straight into the ear. Listening through headphones you hear parts of the track you miss through speakers for me good headphones produce a better result and are my preference.
