... I've just heard a juicy tidbit. Apparently nensondubois (infamous poster @ the infamous HCS forums) doesn't like MP3s. Can you believe it? This is some seriously cutting edge stuff.
Yahoo News
... And in the music industry we've just discovered that nensondubois doesn't like MP3s. That's too bad for him, because Nintendo has just released their entire catalog of OST music for free as MP3s!
CNN.com
... The top story today is that nensondubois doesn't like MP3s. The full story will be up at 11 EST.
Wow! You're famous! I wish I could get that kind of recognition! ;P Mouser X over and out.

- lol. I'll listen mp3s only if they it is the only format a song is in. I like to take a lossless version and encode it into OGG because you can't tell the lossyness by ear wih OGG.

- That's ridiculous. If an MP3 is encoded properly (high bitrate, sample rate) you can't tell the difference between lossless or your .ogg's either.
I haven't done any blind tests myself but have read a lot about it and what I remember is that from 192kbit/s onward (with MP3) most people can't hear the difference between that or lossless. Most VGM MP3's I have are VBR with a mean bitrate above 192kbit/s and they're fine. I'd rather have a properly ripped song encoded to MP3 than an improperly ripped FLAC with pops and ticks. :)

- 320 KBPS 44800 Khz still has that wobbly noise that's not part of the original recording.

- Hmm, if you can link some sample files here or mail them to hamsterballs at gmail . c0m I'll check it out. I've got good speakers/headphones (SoundSticks II/Grado SR-80)and imo good ears, so I'm curious.

- Just use goldwave and encode some mp3s.

- You're the one making the claim of superhuman hearing or the inadequacy of --alt-preset-insane, nenson, it's your point to prove.
Do please do a proper encode (lame --alt-preset-insane), then decode back to wav and play the wavs in the same player.

That's all you're saying? Because somewhere in this thread I could have sworn I saw something more. Oh, here it is, on this same page -

That's more than "I like OGG," which is, I think, why some of the people here are pushing the point. Of course, there's also the fact that you make a claim that has so far been unsubstantiated (and there's numerous sources of reliable information that says you're incorrect about hearing differences). I think that's why HCS is requesting a specific file, from you, encoded correctly, so that others can hear what it is you're claiming is present. Mouser X over and out.
