Chrysler200s Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 There is always a considerable difference in quality when comparing actual authentic cd's and burnt cd's off of my computer. I have it set on the highest quality for my burner but it still isn't great. Am I forever stuck with crappy cd's. (I dont steal music btw..I buy my cd's but I do download the occasional FREE mixtape)..lol Just wanted to clarify Quote 2011 Chrysler 200 S (Black on Black on Black w/ black trim) Changing all the time but, for now..... *Coming Soon* 80sq ft.

SQMonte Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) It's due to compression of the files, only way around it really is burning in a losslesss file format Edited January 2, 2012 by SQMonte Quote Alpine CDA-117...Memphis 16-X03 CDT Audio SQA-4100...SEAS Prestige H1396...Crescendo MP-6 Soundstream Rubicon 1.2500d...Digital Designs 3512f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDrifter Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 dont rip with MP3. i dont remember which file format retains the best quality, i think its WAV or FLAC, but dont quote me. Both are lossless. I use FLAC though because the files are a tad smaller Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eltortuga94 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I would use FLAC/ALAC when ripping a cd that way it's an exact copy of the song just on another cd. Quote System: Basically Stock In process of upgrading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decaf Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 get a good ear most songs don't "sound good" because of how it was made/recorded, not the quality/kbps. aside from frequencies above say, 8000hz, you shouldn't be able to tell the difference from 320kbps to cd quality. most cant tell 256kbps from cd quality. if the song doesn't have a ton of data it doesn't benefit to have more information per second. now an orchestra playing Schoenberg could definitely benefit from the highest quality, but you arent trying to drown out the violin with a bass drum like we drown out lyrics from rap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkylarDunn Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 If you really want better quality, the best thing to do is run a 3.5mm cable from a netbook to the aux in on a HU, and use the HU as a preamp, then you'd be able to play whatever quality you want, aac, wma, mp3, flac, so on and so forth. Putting flac files on CDs is a little silly, due to the size. If you want better quality without alot of money, download Audacity, and learn how to remaster them.
