mangochutney commented on Are MP3s Here to Stay?

"mp3 is going to stay for quite a while I believe. Still it is my opinion that people will come to appreciate high quality audio. I use either ALAC or 256kbit/s AAC for my music, it depends on the song/album. Sure it takes a lot more space, but I think/know that the audio quality is distinguishable. I performed a blind test (@SeanOHara: though not the one you can conduct in FooBar2000, I admit) and with my iPod nano 2G and a pair of Ultimate Ears Triple.Fi 10pro, I was able to clearly distinguish a 192kbit/s VBR mp3, encoded with Lame 3.87 from a 320kbit/s AAC file, it was even easier with the lossless files. I have to say, though, that it depends on the music."

"Ok, since this has been a serious freak out by most of the commenters here on the Giz I like, I decided to order the book on amazon. I have to admit that I've heard the title and certainly the name "Alan Moore" but I know nothing about it. So now "Watchmen" and "The Swamp Thing" are on their way to my doorstep. Now that all my exams for this semester are over I finally have time to read again, YAY!"

"VOTE: Acronis TrueImage A bit pricey, but it works really well and has saved our family PC more than once. Sometimes it takes one or two tries to restore a harddrive that has been backed up with incremental backups, but it has never failed me."
