[Slowhand] Re: Lossy Vs. Lossless

[ToeKneeF]

Tone,

Although my standards are not so low as to accept.............MP3s, 
track-at-once,  digi-noise, fm broadcast via the microphone in front of 
the radio speaker (you busted me up with this one), etc .............I 
will accept MP3s from known traders who wouldn't trade any MP3 lower 
than 128 kbps. Early in my trading I remember receiving a 64kbps MP3 and 
when I complained about the sound quality (tinny would be a compliment) 
the trader replied , "Yeah, I know it doesn't sound 'great' but you can 
get more music on a CD"!! But really, is that any worse than an audie 
that has constant and LOUD wind noise or a conversation nearby that 
overwhelms the music, but at least they're lossless. Standards can, and 
should, be enforced for MP3s as well as they are for other formats.

If I don't have a particular set, or song, and I can only find it in MP3 
or MP4 format and I know it is at least 128/44,100 I will gladly accept 
it. I know that aurally, I won't hear a difference..................T
