Hmm... I find it strange you can't tell the difference. I can tell the difference even with 320 kbps MP3s when there's a lot going on in the music.
I find it strange as well. I thought for sure that I would be able to tell the difference as I felt I had very discerning ears. Hence why I have invested so much time and money into my audio equipment. I am 31 years old and test just fine with my hearing. I am going to have to do more tests before I decide on what rate to go with but perhaps the burners, software, and media all play a part in this as well.
Or I just can't tell the difference.
Also for those of you that are certain that you can hear the difference have you done any a/b testing where you don't know which is being played? Cause I would have bet money that I could have guessed the different types before I actually did the test.
Alan if you are listening have you any experience with blind test of different mp3 formats?
This is all very interesting to me and thanks for all the comments guys.
