Yes mot likely! All people lose thier sense of hearing ofter about 5 or so yrs of age.





But I guess it also depends upon what you've been telling your self & how many other voices you can hear. lol D (Only joking!)

I find that Sonic RecordNow! does a good job at burning CD's.

Hell I have a definite hearing loss many years of driving crawler tractors when I was a farmer. After farming worked in a sawmill then industrial construction. All very noisy occupations, not to mention back in the day you could hear my truck coming down the road from about a mile away tunes cranked ya know. Even with my damaged hearing I can hear the difference the again I love music all kinds doesn't matter from classical to rap and I must say there is a world of difference between 128 and 650. If your listening to 128 you are listening to music if you are listening to 650 you are in the music it moves your soul everything is crisp clear and sharp you can hear every note for me it is almost like I can feel what the artist feels. Whoops I am starting to ramble better get off this subject.

im glad that alot of you are seeing my point....iv been told many times by many ppl that lossless music is a waist of time ,bandwidth and HDD space...

is 650 what FLAC etc runs at? cuz i know that WMA lossless runs at about 900...

i still like my WAVs tho....1411kb/s...i know thers formats that give you the best of both worlds...compression and perfect sound...but i just like WAV best...they rip and burn faster than anything els and there compleatley CODEC - less...

i can hear a HUGE diff between a 128k and a WAV/wma lossless... and the diff between WAV and a 320k mp3 is a litlle harder to distungish but still fairly obvious to me...

Help please....I downloaded music using limewire (which saved the files to c/my downloads)....then a friend asked me to download some songs onto his ipod...so i got itunes and set it up ...this is my problem.... -in itunes i go to the library and say add folder to library from limewire and allllll my music goes across there....now everytime i download a new song and later connect his ipod the music goes on to the ipod....how can i choose what music to put on the ipod....also this may seem like a silly question butttttt im a silly person "is the music stored on limewire (in the library) and the music stored on itunes (in that library) taking up twice the amount of space on my drive? like is 4 gigs of music stored on limewire sharing with itunes making itunes have 4 gig as well making my drive store in total 8 gigs??" ...Thanks for help in advance guys

IF your music files have been properly added to iTunes library then yes you'll end up with 2 copies of each. But before deleting, you should double-check that the songs are actually within the iTunes library. See How to transfer music to my iPod (& iTunes) for tips on using both LW & how to use iPod. Yes you can manually add songs to iPod but you need to see the tutorial 1st to see how!
The bitrate of lossless files depends "mostly" upon the particular song file. Yes some lossless formats might have some variation, but the point is how they go about reducing size without throwing away information. I've had an apple lossless file as little as less than 30% of original size & bit rate around the 300 odd kbps but mostly its about half size & bit rate varies between song. How hard the song is to compress equates to the size when compressed & the bitrate compressed at.
