I listen to a couple different types of music, but i grew up on hiphop. To set my own personal standard right from the get go I took a KRS-ONE track i knew VERY WELL and ripped it @ both 128 and 256k bitrates. Then I spent a good 20 minutes listening to the track from the CD and the 128 and 256k .mp3s. Now, I'm no audiophile, but I could not for the life of me tell a discernable difference between the actual CD and the 256k track. Now, this is all in a cheap $10 pair of headphones mind you, but I was satisfied. And furthermore, these days I have even begun ripping CD's I purchase or "borrow" @ 224kbps and still, I am pleased with the results. I dont need lossless and I can enjoy a 128kbps track. But I am happy with the system I set up. PEACE ISAAC This is a question I approached very seriously. I listen to a couple different types of music, but i grew up on hiphop.

If I had to pay the artist directly, I wouldn't steal music, but I don't care about some giant company picking on the little musicians. Now, big musicians are whining about how much money they are making, come on. Try working for a living, not singing. No way, Music is music, and the labels already make money off of the songs.
