Choosing the Right Bit Rate and File Format to Rip Your CDs into iTunes
On the bit rate question, I got to 256K for almost the same reasons he explains. A couple years ago I did "The Big Rip" at 192K AAC. At the time I figured it was a good compromise between the higher quality of 256K and the smaller file size of 128K. Since then, storage of course has gotten cheaper but even more importantly for me, I really began to notice the difference in sound quality when I listened to a 128K or 192K file as compared to a CD, so I've been ripping at 256K for a couple months now. |
