Reduce existing MP3 bit rate in iTunes
Authored by: kerouassady on Feb 20, '03 09:17:19PM

I use 192kbps with VBR set to highest quality which usually bumps them to around 200 (204-210) and I can't tell the difference at that point. Between 128 and 192, I hear a distinct difference. I am one of the few people I know that can. I guess being a musician, I'm focused more on the sound. With acoustic stuff, which is a lot of what I have, I can hear the difference in the high highs and low lows and an in some of the warmth of the sound. Things are a little more hollow and I can really tell it in the "instrument noise" like the fingers moving on the guitar neck.
