the experts using the most expensive audio equipment out did a test and found that at 256kbps mp3 using lame there was no difference in sound quality whatsoever to the origional cd. they said at 192 kbps they could tell a slight difference in the feel of the song but that doesnt mean it was better or worse than the cd. at the end of the day alot of the origional recordings of the music are analogue then converted to cd format, i feel personally that 192k cbr using lame encoder is perfect the experts could only tell a difference when actually sitting for hours scrutinising and comparing and that wasnt even in the sound quality. also i was reading about cd and if there are any erros on the cd as there always are with any cd usually thousands the song cuts off 1/70th or something like that of a second off the song i dont know about mp3 but this proves all formats have a weakness and there has to be a limit to how many kbps is needed i think anyone who says over 192 is just looking for attention and if they can tell a diffrence they should go and get a job as 1 of the experts. no offence to anyone who says they can but i dont believe you but i dont want any arguments thanks.
