    Default Audio Bitrate

    Has anyone noticed songs 200+ bit rates sound godly compared to songs under it.

    I'd post a example, but all songs on youtube have under 200 bits.

    That really depends on the style of music. For example, DnB is far too fast and loud to even tell what is going on.

    Depends, A song could have bad studio quality and bitrate probably wouldn't make it better.

    Well damn this was fast, I have audiophile equipment so I happen to notice the slightest difference.

    Of course bad studio quality will sound bad, but who listens to that, right?

    I just broken in my new headphones and i'm remodeling my play list to fit it.

    Right now, anything below 200 is getting deleted and replaced.

    Flac (I think it is called) seems to sounds flip'n great.

    as long as it's at least 192 kbps, it sounds great to me. 128 kbps sounds kinda shit.

    lossless audio takes up too much hard drive space. can't be bothered with it.

    for really good quality, just listen to CDs or records *shrugs*

    Lossless and flac are both audio sampling closer to that of what's put on a cd when it's made and it shows in file size. Most of my stuff is Variable bit rate which sounds just great.
