[QUOTE="Hennie, post: 34901, member: 20"] So in the rock examples, 128 kb/s MP3 was preferred. What about other genres, specifically those that usually are well recorded? We are not told, but it seems 128 kb/s was preferred only in with rock music. This is not surprising, because almost all rock is poorly recorded. A little bit of extra sizzle might spice these up a little. I expect the same result to be achieved with some mainstream pop. Although the article does not state it explicitly, I read between the lines that people actually preferred the uncompressed versions in non-rock genres. Or maybe not. We are not told explicitly. Perhaps people preferred 192 kb/s over uncompressed? As Shaun says, high quality systems reveal how awful compressed music can sound. I once connected my DSTV decoder to my sound system to try out the DMX music channels, but I found it unusable. Over a TV's built-in speaker DMX sounds just about right... [/QUOTE]
