1. So wants Bono rapping out live now?

    And is the SNL performance up on YouTube anywhere?


  2. ... you can check that out for your self right? its even on our bootleg pages


  3. Found it , eventually. Do you guys use LAME V2 or V0 to encode all your MP3's? or do u use CBR
  4. I assume you meant VBR... And no, I use LAME.


  5. No V0 and V2 are different quality options for VBR encoding within LAME.

    So it depends on the uploader eh? Thats why some bootlegs are only 192 kbps

    and? If you were big into audio you would be downloading lossless
  7. Gerard said it all. The only thing that notices the difference between 192 and 256 and 320 kbps is your hard disk.


  8. You also need help with putting on clothes?


  9. Not really, lossless is overkill, V2 LAME is transparent to people without superhuman hearing abilities.


  10. Decent speakers are all you need


  11. Not really, I have decent speakers. Even the audiophiles on the Hydrogenaudio forums will say that v2 (and definitely v0) LAME VBR is transparent to the vast majority of people out there.

    You should do a double blind ABX test and see if you can tell the difference.

    And if a VBR MP3 gets you 99% identical to the lossless at 20% of the file size, I know what i'll take.
