You can never reach a common setting. It is a matter of personal preference at the end  |
I paid iTunes the 30c per song to convert my 128k MP3s to the 256k standard. Now, iTunes has most everything on 256k.
This is after I paid $40 for a program that would convert the iTunes format to MP3 so I could use my Garmin GPS to play the tunes through the aux input.
Before I did all this speaker stuff, I was wondering how good MP3s really were. With the 256k and new speakers it all sounds very good to me. I am not sure you can hear the difference from 126 to 256. Some people say they can, or that some tunes are improved noticeably and some are not. All I know is that it is the best standard and it all sounds really good to me.
My first introduction to "good" music in a car was a friend's Ford, around a mid-50s model, that had a factory built-in 45rpm record player. I think the tone arm and cartridge weighed about a pound and the needle was, hmmm, sturdy, but it sounded good to us. It would not track while driving, so you could only use it when parked.
