[dba-Tech] FW: Combine mp3 files

With CDs the music is pretty crisp and clear but have you listened to an 8
track, cassette or vinyl LP lately? :o) 

That's what I was raised on. Or as I lovely refer to them: Snap, Crackle and
Pop.

MOst of my mp3s are ripped from CDs and, yes, I guess I'm pretty much just
using MP3s as background muzak ;o)

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..
