NismoXse02 Member Registered: 11/03/02 Posts: 4411 Loc: The Woodlands, TX	Just my 2 cents. I ripped my entire collection at 192. I could easily tell a difference between 128 and 192. I did a test with my 192 and a CD and I could barely tell a difference. I believe CD quality is 320, but I think 192 works just perfect for me. I'm no where near a musician nor do I pretend to me, so my ears are probably more amature to those that are. _________________________ Hoosier by birth, Red Raider by choice... like KNIGHT and day.

I know years of uncle sams hearing protection have left me kinda hard of hearing but is there really that much differance???? The answer is it depends We all hear things differently. Luckily Apple makes it easy for you to decide for yourself - they release a new song every Tuesday. Free for download. All you have to do is sign up for an iTunes account, which is free. Download a few songs and listen for yourself. AAC and MP3 are two totally different encoders. Apples to Oranges, so to speak. If you have never listened to an AAC encoded file, then you know absolutely nothing about what you are pontificating on. MP3 and AAC files are not the same. They are not even similar. They have different characteristics due to their encoding and format. Give it a listen yourself, and decide yourself. There is a new free song every Tuesday.... Or argue on an Internet message board about something that is TOTALLY subjective :rolleyes: _________________________ Murderous Fire!

I assume from your previous posts you are encoding lossless - so you probably would want it to have pretty good electronics too... too bad they don't produce the empeg any more, you could at least have it in your car... _________________________ Murderous Fire!

I still to this day have the Empeg as one of my eBay searches! lol

But I've seen some reviews of it saying it's shit. The largest laptop drive that I'm aware of is 160GB. Maybe there's a 200 out there somewhere. But it ain't gonna be portable if it's bigger than that. At least, not realistically portable. _________________________ "Nature has constituted utility to man the standard and test of virtue.
