Can you tell the difference in sound quality

Postby GenePeer » Jun 21st, '10, 09:34

Yesterday I was curious to know if someone could tell a difference between 320kbps and 190kbps. I'm making a music collection for my iPod and most of my songs are 190kbps. Is it worth it to look for 320kbps? During my "research" I came across this site Do 320kbps Mp3 Files Really Sound Better? Take The Test!

I passed the test but honestly it was very close to guess work and yet this was between 128 and 320. So I concluded that I should just stick with the 190kbps version. Now I'm just curious how many people here passed that test? and tell me what kind of sound system you used. I used my computer normal internal speakers.

320kbps Mp3s are the best you can get in terms of Mp3s. Overall volume is louder but it doesn't distort the sound and you'll find that your treble is crisper.

I guessed right. I kinda felt a little "layer" (hard to describe) in the 320 kbps sound.
They are too similar, I think it was luck. I don't know, my 320 kbps mp3's are much better. I had one that sounded incredibly similar to the original CD song at 320 kbps and the downloaded 128 kbps sounded trash. But when I convertered the 320 kbps one to 128 kbps, it sounded reasonably good.
I think it depends of the converter.

I don't give a flying fuck if it is not 320kbps.. 192 sound exactly the same.
