Ronin 0 Posted March 18, 2001 I'm curious, They say when you encode an MP3 from a cd or other form that you remove the part(s) of music that you can not hear. So with that in mind when decide you want to decode the music back to the form used for music cds, are the parts that where removed put back? If could just be me, but it seems that after decoding them so I can burn a music cd the music sounds much better than a store bought cd? Your thoughts?? Share this post Link to post
felix 0 Posted March 18, 2001 What you have breifly described is why mp3 is termed a lossy compression standard. Once you encode it - the VHigh and VLow frequency stuff is gone forever. As for sound quality, I've only noticed that effect on cheap speakers. On my system [2x(12" woofers, 4" mids, 2" tweerers)front and 2x(8" mids, 2" tweerers)back] a CD sounds much better than an mp3. ------------------ Written on Win2000 using: PII 300 Aopen AX6B 288mb RAM Diamond Viper 770 32mb Matrox Millenium2 2mb SBLive!
