Bit rate which is the best 192 or 320?

Question

which is the best bit rate to download some friends of mine say 192 other say 256 or even 320 and is 128 ok ?

Answer 1

I prefer 192kbps because it's faster to upload/download and take less space on hard drive. Besides I don't hear difference between 320 and 192, test if you can at http://mp3ornot.com/

(samples are 320 and 128kbps)

Answer 2

Definately 320. You get more "detail" in the song and usually has all the "invisible" sounds in that format. To the naked ear (so to speak) you wouldn't hear any difference in both formats but if you listen really carefully, you can hear a lot more on the 320.

Answer 3

the higher the number the better the quality

128 is normally fine but sometimes the song can be much quieter and when you turn the sound up it loses quailty so mostly go for anything higher than 128

192 is perfect for me cos the sound is great and it doesnt take up too much room on the hard drive

Answer 4

I always use 320.
