Only A Hobo is a great assister to others; your light through the dark tunnel
Default
A song with a bit rate of 128 kbps might be 3MB size The same song (same lenth) with 256 kbps will be 6MB it will sound the same on my computer playing through its single poor quality speaker. If you play it through a decent stereo and/or analyze the compresseion etc, you will find that the higher bit rate will give higher quality sound. A shop bought CD will give better sound than either .. It all depends how much of a hi-fi buff you are. I guess

What more can I say?
