No I am trying to say that the original sound quality on a music CD is 128kb/sec, that increasing the bitrate on conversion to mp3 is an attempt to make up for the lossly format (mp3) reducing quality, and that the arguements usually are around when that increase in bitrate actually stops makes a difference, most of the aguements have it somewhere between 192 and 300kb/sec. It is pretty much a mute point in this day of fast internet connections, but was a critical issue at dial up speeds!
