Its very sad. I am often appalled at how the same track on two radio
stations can sound totally different. Muddled mp3 like swizzling noises a
bit like a knackered cassette tape snaking across the heads.
In my view passable spoken word is ok at 192kbits, but you need a much
higher rate or a dynamic rate system to sound right on music, unless its
already compressed to start with.

The phase errors are just awful but given you can get really good no loss
compression these days why do people cling on to mp3? I was told some years
ago its all down to buffer sizes, well that may have been true once but even
phones have more memory than enough these days.

I think a lot of people don't really listen to music very closely or pay
much attention to what they're hearing..

I agree.
