<FONT COLOR=000000 DEFAULT="COLOR"><FONT FACE="arial"><FONT SIZE="2" POINTSIZE="10">I can certainly hear the difference on my computer speakers between a 44.1 / 16 uncompressed PCM file and a 128k MP3 made from that source. The MP3 encoding process introduces a certain amount of artifact into the sound. You can easily hear it if you know what to listen to. Still, a 128k MP3 sounds pretty good, compared to cassette or most FM. But next to a CD there really is a difference.<BR>
