[dba-Tech] FW: Combine mp3 files

I dont like MP3 (or any lossy compression) I keep hearing the
compression at any rate.

I got me a Creative Zen Vison M 60GB and some very good Sony in-ear
plugs.
With those I got a very good sound (esspecialy bass) and more important
in-ear plugs shuts off environmental sounds.
The volume doesnt need to be that loud as with other ear sets to get
some decent sound. I can advice everybody to use in-ear plugs...
I bought that because I got kids always making noise and my wife cant
stand loud music at home.

Anyway, My Zen only supports up to 320Kbps, I can still here compression
at that rate, I would prefer VBR instead of CBR, but it does not support
VBR.

On my computer I only use WMA lossless, ripped from real cd's (!), on my
regular soundsystem I can't listen to MP3, the cracking in voices and
instruments just irritates me and I cant enjoye listen to it, unless I'm
busy dooing household stuff :-)


Classic Music and MP3 don't go to well togheter. Instruments just
compleetly disapear. But ofcourse if you just want to have some muzak
while working thats ok..

I used to have top of the stereo equipment and cared for everything like
it was thin sheets of glass.

Now I burn everything to MP3 and listen to it in my office on tinny
speakers if I have to ;o)

I have a pretty nice speaker set with subwoofer but I don't turn up loud
enough to make a difference.

Also true, 

I always seem to have the impression that classic music lovers only
listen to classic music on a more or less decent sound system.
That is of course not true.

I'm a bit of a fanatic (any) music lover...

True, but then are you playing these mp3s on a high quality sound system
or via the speakers built in to the flat panel monitor case/ears
buds/other lousy output device?

Keep in mind that when saving a decompressed MP3 files back in to an MP3
file (or whatever lossy compression) will result in a lesser quality
than the original MP3 file.

Its like saving a JPG again and again.
