The problem is that each of these audio compression formats throws away different bits that are not important sonicly when being played back. But when you mix them, then you have the added results of yet another different throwaway, and unless you have a totally tin ear, the results are very tiring and even mushy to listen to. If the original CD's are available, it would be many times better sonicly to re-rip them to ogg format. I use a q7 setting for my ripping and cannot tell the diff between the cd and the file. The file size at q7 seems to be a bit smaller than a variable ratio mp3, and I can still tell the diff using mp3, even at my age. I guess a broadcast engineers ears are fussier or something cuz my hearing is not that good when tested, with 'carhart' notches 120+ db deep. >Frank > >-- >gpg id EB547226 Revoked Forgot Password :( >Skype: Frankly3D -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
