Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler FLAC vs MP3 (Stereo, Joint Stereo, Dual Channel)

I did all my CD ripping into least amount of compression (saves time and storage is cheap) in FLAC with Winamp just to have a complete back up, same as Dean. I have a harder time telling the difference between FLAC and MP3 unless the MP3s are under 128K, but I have never done any direct comparisons as Dean did, I just know any MP3s I have heard at less than 128k start sounding hollow and thin, 128K and up they sound like I am listening to the radio, very acceptable.
