MP3 blows

“MP3 blows”

True enough. But for these 69 year old ears afflicted with tinnitus since my 20s, it is good enough.

Compared to CD .wav files, I can hear the difference in dynamic range and especially in the very high frequencies like the sizzle of a hi-hat. Still, I have library of mp3 music on my computer which I download to thumb drives for in car listening.

Try listening to Dire Straights "So Far Away From Me" on the Brothers in Arms CD. Then copy it as an mp3 - the difference is striking. Brothers in Arms was one of the first to be recorded in direct digital aimed at a CD release.

The best sound is remastered albums of your favorite music on CD's. Some just clean up the sound, while some change the sound level of certain instruments. I have many cd's of the Stones and the best is the Grrr remaster. It's double CD's has most every hit and is amazing in a good sound system or headphones. There are many remastered CD's.
