Did you listen to some of the wav files I posted above?
Stand by Me and I Walk The Line
Do they really sound bad to you? I’m curious.
I just did, Potlatch. The mp3 file is substantially superior to the wav file. The wav file lacks crispness and sounds like it's being played in a tunnel from a distance. I'm not an audiophile by any means, but the wav file would not provide a satisfactory listening experience for me. If it works for you, though, that's great.
