Nothing beats an ipod for portable entertainment. I agree with the guy that wrote the article. Most sound like they were recorded in a coffee can. I occasionally use a mp3 for various purposes including burning cds or downloading to Mrs.E's iPod. But before I do, I use a program called "Audacity" to modify and enhance the file to get rid of that coffee can sound. I just cannot handle that overly compressed, airy and tinny sound. Different strokes. Eisboch Mostly fixed with phase correction. ... and making your MP3's with a much higher sample rate than the default. try 192k High sample rates (320kbps) certainly makes them better but the files get bigger. Wav files sound best because there's no compression, but the files are huge. People aren't into quality, they are into quantity, so they pack their iPods and mp3 players with low quality, low sample rate files. I just can't get into that. Despite what some claim, I can (and so can my wife) distinguish the difference of a high quality CD PCM track and a high sample rate conversion of it to mp3. You can't replace what isn't there. But, with Audacity you can add some depth to get rid of the coffee can sound. As discussed many times before, it all depends on what you are listening to them on. An iPod plugged into a docking station or a non-revealing audio system sounds ok for background music. Eisboch It sorta depends on *what* you are listening to, too. |
