Heh. You're probably aware of this, but some research has found that young people *prefer* the sound of mp3 in sound tests. - Don Homer Oct 19, 10:37 4
- err.. that last sentence should say "weaker audio options..." -- nm - Don Homer Oct 19, 10:40
- I truly can't tell the difference, but I have bad ears. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 10:37 2
  - Completely unrelated but my cousin went deaf in one ear due to some virus just recently. Totally a shocker - kilbooooo Oct 19, 10:38 1

codec have gotten a lot better. Many people didn't know what they were doing back then. -- nm - Reagen Oct 19, 10:36 1
- yeah, criticizing that is like saying that music accidentally encoded on pottery has poor fidelity. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 10:37
I'm not sure you can compare what was probably music ripped by a random internet person and shared on napster to the quality of digital downloads toda -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 19, 10:35 2
- silly kilbo, he did it once back in 98, so it must be bad forever. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 10:36 1
  - that explains his sex life -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 19, 10:37
yeah the mp3's have come a long way since then. and with the remastering of catalogs, songs are sounding better and better. -- nm - Remlik Oct 19, 10:35
