Awesome !!! - damn but your files must sound good

Like Dennis, I do not have much of an "ear" for sound quality but I do like the thought of smaller files. Maybe OGG is the answer to keep both the audio bufs and the disk misers happy.

Sorry to spoil all your fun guys, I am just not a music aficionado. I listen to the songs, and unless they sound horrible, its okay. Seriously, at 64 they sound just as well as playing a CD and I really can not tell they are any worse. I never listen to the radio. and I have Boston Acustics digital speaker system on my PC with surround sound.

I suppose that makes you a better people than I (perhaps you are flawed for having such terrific hearing , and yes, I have 1400 songs in as little over 2 gig.

my thoughts exactly

damn appealing

I'd be happy to help you and put some of your original files in my shared folder. Either tell me what to search for or e-mail me one. My E-Mail can only get 10MB at any one time.

Well, Peerless everyone is passionate about something and great music is yours so you have the right to enjoy the best quality available.

Since music is not my passion (want comment on what is ) its lucky indeed that what is music to my ears does not sound horrible at a lower bitrate. Keep on listening to that great music!

Sorry, that last post was me, forgot to put my name.

No "sorry" is necessary... but I gotta say... I completely agree with Peeerless. There is a MAJOR difference... regardless of someone's poor speaker, system, or ear performance. (And think... I built 140db+((twice the volume of a jet engine at 1 meter)) systems for several years!... If I can hear the difference.......)

My hearing is trashed!!! But I can tell the difference. It's more than likely the sound card and speaker performance... but an ace is an ace, a spade is a spade. Thank goodness for the great HQ search results on fastTrack!

Thanks for the earlier strokes on the music systems, Vlad!

Sorry dude... but B**L MF S**T! You most definately are high on something... if you think 64kb/s sounds even remotely close to even 128kb/s. (Let alone 192-320kb/s) The whole concept makes me roll. Let's just see if anybody else agrees with your statement..........

I personnaly download to an unshared folder!

sometimes MP3s are not of very good quality, even chopped of in the end. So I always download 4 or 5 times the same "title" but has different size and/or bitrate. then I share the good files only!

same goes with compressed stuff... I always check if there is a virus, if the zip is damaged, etc.

this way I can filter out the fake files (text files disguised as porn links, or downloaders through a high cost overseas call!)

unfortunately... my files would appear in other's search result as a file with the same name, same size, but not grouped with the original source!

limewire already test MP3s if they are corrupted or not when finishing the download... it should also test ZIPs and RARs, or at least let an antivirus check the files before sharing them. There should also be a more advanced file manager so you can create subfolders, save or move files within a shared folder...
