[QUOTE="JackG, post: 806982, member: 3071"] Im no audiophile but I can tell you what I do know for sure. Its certainly best to rip to wav and using the best equipment possible. Iv had wav rips sound worse than a 192 mp3 as the equipment used to rip the mp3 was superior. If your needles are fooked and u use a crap mixer etc the old saying garbage in garbage out applies... Rippin to wav ensures you will always have the best copy possible as once you have ripped to MP3 there are certain frequencies that are lost forever.:wave: I have a good friend who has played at all the best clubs around the world and he will not play any MP3 below 320 and said he only plays a 320 if he hasnt got a wav file (but has used 320s plenty of times as do other DJs) I can tell the difference when mixing between different files .. obviously when you compare a 128 to a 320 a difference its easy to spot..often just on loudness but the high frequencies especually.... high hats never sound true. A 320 v wav is harder to spot and 99% of u will struggle to hear a difference but in certain tunes I have. The reason mp3s were a big thing was due to storage space but now that doesnt seem there big advantage... Its just that they are now the 'standard' format for music files for the average person. The biggest Advantage with mp3s for me is that every player supports them and you can 'tag' other bits of info to the file, eg adtist, album, genre etc. You can rip say a CD to mp3 and the software will find n fill in lots of handy detail whereas if you rip to wav the format doesnt allow for taggin and is blank:| [/QUOTE]
