distributedhomeaudio@xxxxxxx is a pretty good place to boost your
collection.
(eventually! :P )

>I prefer the sound of 192k WMA's personally.  Most ppl of course go for
>256k MP3's.

*ahem*

No, most ppl don't. The quality perception between 128 and 192 is
considerable.
>from *any* size,
all you are doing is

a) kidding yourself
b) wasting diskspace

I have personally listened to more Mp3s in the last three months for quality
checking
than anyone else alive (probably not an exageration), and really, the encode
makes
more of a difference than the bitrate, *every* time.

I have heard some truly *crap* Mp3s encoded at 320kbps, and some 128kbps
that are so
damn close to WAV that it's nearly impossible to tell.

Now, if you excuse me, I'll crawl back under me rock :)

Ian.
