sorry. this is IMO. i've heard songs on an ipod, encoded that high, with the same headphones as on my discman, and there is a difference. even the best mp3's are lacking a fullness, they sound canned. to me, mp3's are the digital equivalent of cassettes. i don't consider them a final stage worth paying money for. d. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
