I don't have expensive equipment and I probably couldn't tell the difference in a blind test anyway. lol<br /><br />I have quite a few low bit rate albums that I found in cyberspace that I really enjoy. Drive space has gotten so large and cheap that I always go for the highest quality rip just in case there is an audible difference. I'm not a "hi fi snob" just a "regular jerk" with available drive space.<br /><br />I would have downloaded this even if you had posted the bit rate. Like I said, it sounds great to me and it's an album that I didn't have at all and I'm glad to get.<br /><br />Thanks man!Troglodytehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15646073576804524750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7400495454064344428.post-31949511817984844062009-06-30T21:59:21.573-07:002009-06-30T21:59:21.573-07:00This record IS HOT!

You can't beat those top notch session players Plas Johnson, Ernie Freeman, etc. They played with so may rock groups in the 50' & 60's. <br />The 128kbs sounds fine and I'm used to a lot of FLAC quality. Thanks for a great offering!rich simshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08785239198166977275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7400495454064344428.post-84447069869929184532009-06-11T15:13:32.644-07:002009-06-11T15:13:32.644-07:00I do know quite a bit about ripping CDs and record...I do know quite a bit about ripping CDs and records and use EAC. This though is one of my many found albums so what you see is what you get. IMO The whole hi fi snob thing is overdone. <br /><br />Blind tests prove that there's not much difference to the average listener between 128 and 320kps. I'm an audiophile with top line equipment and this sounds great to me . I find the source is more important than the rip bit rate and Ace is one of the best.RonMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07892961237356720386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7400495454064344428.post-58386479676564785802009-06-11T07:04:41.410-07:002009-06-11T07:04:41.410-07:00Man, the offering here was just what I was looking...Man, the offering here was just what I was looking for. Then I read the comment about it being low quality.<br />I have to agree. Most snobbish audiophiles will shun these downloads. The previous poster is also correct in that Lame is the best encoder there is bar none and the settings mentioned produce CD quality music. You should also use EAC if ripping from a CD. Read about it and you will then know why. Yes, it would be terrific if you could mention what the bitrate and encoder used in your description. Unfortunately I will have to look elsewhere for downloads.<br />Thank youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7400495454064344428.post-88115840978163604862009-06-11T06:25:37.362-07:002009-06-11T06:25:37.362-07:00Yikes, the bitrate of this is very low quality.

People who know about bitrates will probably not want to add this to their collection. Are all the files here of low quality. Perhaps you could also list the bitrate so people don't waste time downloading it. You should always use Lame encoder, VBR (higest setting) and Joint stereo. Or else at least 256kps. This is CD quality and millions will thank youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
