I wouldn't exactly call it desperation; okay so I used to be short on hard drive space, but I could've simply chosen not to share as many files as I do.... If the files are good quality at 128 - and as I said before, I wouldn't download them in the first place if they sounded inferior - then I just don't see any reason to 'waste' space if it isn't necessary.... As you know, I now download to a 320GB hard drive, but a lot of my files are still 128.... Whatever the bitrate of a song, if I myself am not completely satisfied by the quality of a file, whether 'converted' or not - then I wouldn't expect anyone else to be - so therefore wouldn't share it, full stop. As I said earlier, I've downloaded files at higher bitrates, I daresay a mixture of converted and unconverted - and after changing some of them to 128, they actually sounded much better. Obviously that's not always the case and if it sounds better at 256 or 320, then I'll upload it as such.... Believe me, I 'vet' all my files before sharing them  - even checking that they actually do go all the way to the end - the amount of songs I've downloaded and they just cut off or have 10 minutes of silence at the end. Now that's annoying!  |
