jmilo 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2005 have you tried ripping your songs to 320kbps using aac or mp3? and try comparing the sound? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
afbug 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2005 I believe MD will sound better than 320kbps aac or mp3. They're only slightly inferior to CDs with similar priced/performance equipment. Of cause with CDs, there are many high end quality players out there, so..... My trusty MDS-JB920 deck still working. MD walkman also still around but the gum batt spoilt liao.

zhong 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2005 that's why i can never get satisfied with the sound of my mp3 player tend to compare it too much with MD player... which i have been using for years but well... mp3 is for convenience sake.. size wise and ease of transfering songs so well... guess we cant have the best of both worlds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
