Even with good equipment. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [โ] FalseMyrmidon@kbin.run 20 points 2 years ago (2 children) Yeah, I'm thinking of circa 2000 MP3s. 128k was the good stuff and lower was still common. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [โ] bob_lemon@feddit.de 15 points 2 years ago* Back when a 4 minute song was like 1.5MB so you could fit more music on your 256MB mp3 player because you could not afford an iPod. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] aleph@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) Oh yeah. 128k rips from back then were rough.

As I mentioned elsewhere, MP3 @ V0 or V1 VBR sounds just as good as the above. I just personally haven't used MP3 for years because the newer codecs are more efficient. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent
