Do you care about the quality of your music?

[love in music]

search isn't working for me so sorry if this was posted..

will you only download something in the highest quality, or are you fine with 128kbps and lower bitrates?

[LacusClyne]

poor quality kills my ear! i must have at least 320kbps mp3/192kbps AAC format.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

woow
so theres a difference then lol
im not a fan of downloading really, i like to get the original CDs etc

but when i have to download, i try to get the best ^^
so im going with the HQ option

[alternarist]

in between. no major sound problems will do.

[vampireknightzero]

Usually I would download 128kbps..the size is not too huge yet the quality is good. For rare songs, I wouldn't mind lower bitrates

[stardusties]

I started off being fine with 128 / 96 kbs....but over the years I was introduced to 192, and then later 320.

Music just doesn't sound appealing anymore under 192 kbs, I hate when my playlist song goes from 320kbs, and the next song is in 128, it sounds horrible! For older songs however, i don't care what qual it is...as long as i have it :]

agree ^

[aqua_crystal]

I don't care!!! Really. I don't mind 128kbps songs... sometimes I don't notice the difference!

[KarenPang]

good question & for me I don't really care . HQ's nice & all but I always tend to convert my files all the way to 48kpbs to maximise file space in my mp3player

[Meat Pao]

Honestly I don't really care what bitrate my music is, because eventually I'll be getting my hands on the CD and listening to it on my stereo instead, haha. But other than that I only have built-in speakers on my monitor so anything I listen to is more or less the same. I only listen to my songs on my computer when I feel like listening to random songs while surfing the net.

As for putting my songs into my handphone I always convert them to 128kbps as the size is smaller

[rookies]

I do care about the quality, and always try to get a 320kbps mp3 version of songs, and if there isn't one available, then 192 or lower.

[Qt Mashi]

i love quality but 320kbps is good enough for me, i also love HQ videos, can't stand watching square blocks!

[Beauty4123]

honestly, not really. but if it's like seriously LQ music, i can't hear it, lol. but anything like 128 or 192kbps is fine with me, i'm not too picky.

[waterballoon]

I don't mind for music too... 192/320 is okay for me.

BUT for videos... they must be as HQ as possible! I HATE watching LQ videos, especially if I want to take some screen shots or something....

[HanabiChick]

When I'm ripping songs from my CDs to listen to in the computer I'll rip them at 160 or 192, depending on how much I'm ripping from one album, to save space. When I want to download something I just download the same quality or slightly higher. I'll take whatever I can get until I get the CD for myself and rip the songs. I suppose I'm in between.

Depends on the genre and how much I like the artist. All my Ayu albums and my american rock songs are in 320 kbps bitrate. Everything else I'm okay as long as it is atleast 128 kbps bitrate.

You mean like Fall Out Boy? Folie a Deux is AWESOME... I never knew they were that good!

No I mean like Metallica, Fallout Boy is only 128 kbps worthy

Me loves Metallica

They totally deserve high quality tracks

Anyway, i'm very picky with music from my favourite artists and songs. I strongly dislike low quality songs, but sometimes i gotta deal with it (the ambient mix of ferry corsten made for connected is sooooo messed up)however, i don't mind LQ songs from certain "filler" songs . I've got the 120 gb ipod and i'm having trouble to fill it since i only have 615 songs.

i refuse to dl anything below 192.. and even then sometimes they aren't ripped properly.
