ATRAC3 on my minidisc player. Anyone thinking of getting a portable MP3 player should seriously look at one of Sonys Net minidisc players instead. I can get 3 CDs per disc in high LP2 mode or 6 in LP4.

MP3 encoding using VBR, using Xing's AudioCatalyst encoder. Had it for a while, and I still like their broad spectrum encoder better than lots of other stuff for vbr.Comment

I now encode any new stuff with oggComment

For compatibility, I only use MP3. I use CDEX, VBR, joint stereo, 128-320kbps, q0. Seems to work fine on everything I've thrown at it, and it sounds damn good on my B&W speakers.Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard coated bastards with bastard filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive, bubble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine. -- Dr. Perry CoxComment

LP2 is ok, but LP4 quality is not very goodOriginally posted by Ant

I always use 1:1 (i.e. no long play).
It surely is better than all my VBR mp3s! (or is it because of my audio setup?)P4 Northwood 1.8GHz@2.7GHz 1.65V Albatron PX845PEV Pro

I convert to MP3 as well using EAC and Lame. Got a car stereo with Mp3 capability. One CD with kids songs...then when they finally fall asleep, I put in my CD

I use MP3 for compatibility reasons as well. I use EAC with LAME 3.92 and --alt-preset standard. It sounds good enough for background listening on my PC. The stereo gets the original CDs; MP3s don't go near it
As for MD, I think standard ATRAC is 292kbps; this is supposed to sound very good. I've heard most people say that the LP modes don't sound anywhere near as good as standard ATRAC.Comment

Hmm, I have a MD player and the quality of MD is lower than an VBR mp3 @~160KBps when using a good encoder.Originally posted by Liquid Snake

Except for some few special tracks I'd say it's VERY hard to really tell the difference between the original and a mp3 done with VBR min 128Kbps, max 256KBps - even though I have the computer connected to my Hifi.
I can hear the artifacts from the MD (I don't use it much anymore).Comment

I use WAV, around 1446bps?Join MURCs Distributed Computing effort for Rosetta@Home and help fight Alzheimers, Cancer, Mad Cow disease and rising oil prices.

1446bps is one hell of a compression ratio, but since you're getting it with WAV I can't imagine it sounds all that good

Not sure if my leg is being pulled or not right now. Let me say this, it sound as good, really as good, as a CD. Whether that is good or not I won't say.Join MURCs Distributed Computing effort for Rosetta@Home and help fight Alzheimers, Cancer, Mad Cow disease and rising oil prices.
