>> IWalkTheLine-JCash.mp3 2.50MB LINK

IWalkTheLine-JCash.wav 486kb LINK<<

You’ll see that the one labeled .wav is a 24kbit audio rate and the one labeled .mp3 is 128kbit audio rate. 5 times the number of bits in the 128kbit mp3 and 5 times the file size of the 24kbit.

You may be ok with 24kbit recordings, but they sound tinny and hollow to me.

I just converted the MP3 to a genuine, uncompressed file and it was 57mbs. WAV files are uncompressed, all things being equal(like length, bitrate, etc) an MP3 will always be up to 10 times smaller.

I am certainly not an expert on sound quality. It is very confusing but as I said, I have hundreds of “wav” files under one meg and all my MP3s are triple that.

Therefor in my webhosting site I can have quadruple the number of files. They do seem to sound equally good on the burned CDs.

This is an ‘old Timmy’ site where I get many wav downloads and I have many sites like that that I go to.
