Re: blue collar mp3's

Quote: (Originally Posted by RMadd) Steve's saying 192 isn't album quality; using VBR on your mp3's would be about as close as you're gonna get. From what I understand, some of the better formats are ogg and flac (they utilize VBR, I believe).

Yes. mp3 is a lossy file format. What that means is it compresses the audio down to keep file sizes small. No matter what bitrate you set your mp3s to, they have less quality than an actual album. To keep album quality you need to use a lossless file format - as RMadd mentioned, ogg and flac are lossless formats.
