Question about mp3s
 
was reading somewhere about lossless m4a's and how mp3s lose sound which is unrecoverable due to compression and though they are convienient its kind of a letdown. So whats the best quality rip from an original cd (format) and does anybody really know whats lost? is it guitar riffs? I always thought it was my stereo headphones that were missing surround channels when i hear a guitar line missing or "in the background" I got the m4a files for an album which in mp3 is 81mb and in losless is 400mb and it DOES sound very crisp but well i dont think it warrants me changing over and wasting space...just wonder what you think out there

I think you should be copying your CDs to 8 tracks. Fuck CDs. Fuck MP3s, Fuck M4a, fuck WMA, fuck fuck fuck the policeman...

Guitar riffs, you gotta be shittin me.
What's missing is what most humans can't hear.
Stereo headphones don't have surround channels, they have 2-left & right.
It sounds like you're listening to one channel in both sides of the headphones.

Check out .flac - I convert my tracks to that format.

I also like flac. 320 kbps mp3's are a good compromise as well.

A third vote for FLAC. That said, once you get to 256-320 for an mp3, most people will not be able to discern the difference, particularly on a portable device.
