That is not a scientific test, as I stated above. So unless your mp3s are encoded in low bitrate and/or bad quality, you are not really noticing any difference, but instead it's all in your head.

If you are comparing the exact audio samples in those different codecs, that is more likely to be a psychological effect than any real perception of quality. FLAC doesn't magically make music sound...

I'm not going to lie and say that the regressiveness and people's unwillingness to change that mp3 represents have nothing to do with it, but another issue is wastefulness. It is a comparatively...

The same could be said about wav. In fact, if we're going for the absolute widest user base, wav should be the choice, because I'm sure someone out there is still rocking a 486 PC, not to mention all...

Why would they use them? There is no discernible difference to human ears between SACD/DVD-Audio and CDs.

Their only advantage might be the capacity to deliver surround sound, but how many people...

I'm pretty sure 'the next person on the street' wouldn't know their hole from an ass in the ground, when it comes to codec technology. iPods are still the most popular, dedicated PMPs and they have...

Literally the first "mp3 player" that came up on amazon....

Which mp3 player is it? How often have you changed the battery? Because if it's so old that it can't play a better format than mp3, it must be really old.

Funny. I feel the same about mp3s. I avoid them like the plague.



Accepted by whom?
I was playing mkvs just fine in an old bluray player from 5 years ago.
Maybe we should go back to 8 bit...

Talk about a dinosaur codec. Rippers should use a better codec if they're going to release lossy soundtracks. Vorbis, opus or even AAC with a high quality encoder like qaac.
