is this a flame? i cant tell.
okay. you're an idm'er. dig through your cd's, find a song that has a
wide range of sounds, from high end to low end.
now, *properly* rip (what does that mean, anyway? like im going to
magically tell the encoder to drop frequencies?) the track to mp3.
avoid joint stereo, avoid variable bitrate. 192/44.
get a pair of headphones. why headphones? because you can hear whats
going on.
listen to the cd.
listen to the mp3.
listen to the cd.
listen to the mp3.
unless your headphones are shit, your soundcard is shit, and you have
everything pumped through a compressor or something, you should notice
sounds in the cd that just arent there in the mp3. you'll notice more
power in the high end sounds, and more in the low-end sounds. the
midrange will have more color to it.
if you STILL cant hear a difference.. well.. i feel for you, man.
