There are other versions? I've only got the 320 on hand right now, but
I can rerip the disc at 128/256 if you want. Listening to Stairway at
320, I think that I remember the echo at about 7:20 or so in the
cymbals.


Thanks.  (Others; BBC Sessions, a couple from the DVD, various bootlegs
they're all live though, but I wanted to check.  Actually I quite like the sound
on the BBC sessions version.)


I'd actually like to note that my music collection is in mp3 as I feel
it's slightly better sounding than ogg. I don't remember what turned
me off about ogg, but I decided not to use it. I only mention it
because someone mentioned earlier in the thread that ogg sounds
better. My music tastes usually include heavy guitar and drums, with
not a small bit of electronic peices: Led Zepplin, Machina (Israeli
rock), Pantera, Sepultura, Nine Inch Nails, Rammstien, Ministry.
Appears that guitar doesn't compress so well in ogg. That was about
2002-ish, while Windows was still installed on this machine. Might I
see better results ripping ogg with a newer Linux program?


There has been at least one improvement in encoding since then.

Also the recent aoTuV tunings are supposed to be a big
improvement, though I don't know if you can get an aoTuV based
encoder as an rpm <http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=AoTuV>.
Not worth worrying about too much if you're using FLAC anyway.
