[QUOTE="Rick Stansby, post: 25466, member: 312"] Re: MP3 vs WAV I believe the bitrate is limited by bandwidth on the internet (for music downloads) and hard-drive space (for storage). Right now everyone says 256 is great, but in a few years when hard-drives are bigger and modems are faster, people will start to say that 256 was good, but it's just about perfect at 512 kbps. It won't stop until we get back to straight 1411 kbps, uncompressed wav files. So I buy it on CD and Rip it at 256 (or 320) for now. In five years, when we move to 100TB hard-drives and gigabit internet, I can rip it again at 512kbps, or whatever bit-rate people are suggesting by then. [/QUOTE]
