mp3's, about mp3 quality Options

[Terzin1]

i keep hearing this bull**** about how MP3 quality doesnt match other types of audio. Whats this nonsense about M4U quality and bitrate and shiot? I want to get an MP3 playing head unit but if it doesnt sound as good as a regular cd, than forget it.

when u burn a cd in mp3 format it compresses the format, it does sound worse, but its not like the diffrence b/t cd or FM. its not that noticeable. unless u got a 4ch amp and 2ch sub.

its just like drocay said, if you do it at 128 or above, your listenting to it at cd quality. but most mp3 players, in order to hold as many songs as advertized, you have to have it play at 64 bps....which is where you'll notice a difference. (this is why when i only wanted to have like 2000 songs on my player, i got a 20 gig, because it advertizes 7500 song storage, but thats at 64 bps....a 5 gig wont hold that many when playing at 128+ bps.)
