I don't know why people would buy a normal song over itunes at 128k, as you can hear the poor qauility. If you are paying a couple of dollars for a sone, it should be a near CD quality download. |

Neil Young spoke out when CDs were first introduced too - said that the digital era of music will be looked back on as a dark age in music. I tend to agree. |

| 691827 | 2008-07-25 11:04:00 | That said, I'd take a 128kbps AAC Audio file over a 192kbps mp3 any day! ...and as far as I was aware, 96kbps was "near CD quality", so Im presuming 128kbps would be on a similar par. Not perfect, but quite good nonetheless.... |

However, if buying a full album then I would still buy the CD still unless it was on iTunes plus (256k and DRM free). Also remember that AAC gives better quality per bit than MP3s. | maccrazy (6741) | ||
| 691829 | 2008-07-25 11:20:00 | Yeah its *definitely* convenient! Lying in bed at 1AM, couldnt sleep the other night. Fired up iTunes on my iPhone and bought a Mumsdollar album (NZ Music) for a few bucks... didnt know of any 24 hour retail stores, and I just felt like listening to it right there & then :) |

| 691830 | 2008-07-25 13:16:00 | I think the old addage of actually collecting something in your hands kicks ass over any download. | rob_on_guitar (4196) | ||
| 691831 | 2008-07-25 17:56:00 | Why are "we" talking about 128 or even 256k bitrates here? I save each and every MP3 in at least 1,000K bitrate and I cannot notice any degradation or loss at all . I'm not talking about things from YouTube or streamcast radio . If 128 is NEAR-cd quality . . then what is 1K worth? I then have to cut them down with Audacity to 128 or less for my Sansa, but that's OK as I use earbuds anyway and they aren't the best for reproduction . Sometimes I just plug it into the jack on the front of my CD/MP3/Radio player in the dash as I'm driving . . . so it's no big thang . If I want REAL sound immersion, I just play it on guitar or bass (loudly) myself! Nyuck, nyuck! |
