mp3 bandwidth?

At what point (i.e.) 96kb/s, 128kb/s, 196kb/s etc) do you
fail to here those "squeeky" high frequency sounds? Most of
my downloaded songs are at 128kb/s - do I lose a lot of
sound this way?

yeah.

i don't like anything lower than 192kb/sec, really. depends
on your speakers; but on my system, you can definitely
notice a difference.

given, though, it all depends on the encoder too - i've got
128kb/sec mp3's that sound a whole lot better then some
192kb/sec or even 256kb/sec ones encoded with a crappy
codec.

I use the latest version of Nero to burn 128kb/s mp3s to CD.
I can't notice too much of a difference (if at all).
I've only done this so far with µ-ziq Bluff Limbo and In
Pine Effect....which have terrible sound quality anyway.

ever given ogg a try?
compared to lower bitrate mp3s its incredeble (at the same
bitrate).
its also free, and opensource (mp3 is neither).
ill provide samples if anyone whos never heard it before is
interested....
at higher bitrates (like 192 ) its obviously harder to see
alot of improvement while using ogg, but it does sound much
better
