If you (or anyone else) can be arsed, compare these 'identical' clips
without discovering the various bitrates and see if you can easily split
them and/or evolve a favourite or best simply by *listening* to them:

My contention is that few (if any) people will be able to split them by
only listening to them and that it doesn't matter anyway - low bitrate
MP3s are for 'mobile music' in any case!!

I can play the clips on my PC, but how do I download them so that I can
play them on something else?
(using IE)


Right mouse click on the 'SampleClicknn' link and select 'Save Target As'
and watch where it wants to put them.

Try to play them without 'giving the game awayas to bitrates' to make your
comparisons. It's really a 'better or worse' you are looking for - play 'em
only two or three times at the most or you'll be lost!

(My 'bidey-in' was so *on the money* with these clips I think I'll have to
change my views on how *other people* hear MP3s!! @:-)

Nowadays I digitise to 256K because it sounds plenty good enough to
me, even over a 'full-size hifi system' and if 192K is good enough
for firms like Denon:

So bloody tempted by one of these - just out of curiosity!!


Probably does just fine. Software looks intriguing.



Then it (or a little 'better' than 192K) is good enough for me!


And me.

However, I use a lossless codec for the simple reason that, er, it
might matter one day.



Rob, I'm that bit further down the road than you are - what doesn't
matter to me today sure as hell ain't gonna matter at any time in the
future!!

Knowing your luck, you'll live to 108 with tip top hearing. Then we'll
see who's chuckling :-)

Yes, I bet they probably unexceptional but otherwise fine - not having the
space to put one is a deterrent for me (I think) but the biggest mystery is
who are they being pitched at? They are too toy-like and plasticky to appeal
to an 'audiophile' but what teenager has got enough vinyl to want to make
MP3s from it? What teenager would bother, when they can just download it -
legally or otherwise?

My guess it's pitched at the Baby Boomers who still have the vinyl but are
not 'audio buffs' and just want it grabbed and split into 248 tracks a side
by the software for the iPods they have got somewhere but never use...??

Well, just so long as you are there to see me reach that age! ;-)
