why does everyone prefer vbr?  (when choosing lossy)   
I normally go with a 192 cbr rip mp3for the ipod..  vbr better?

VBR is supposedly a more efficient use of available bandwidth....in other words it compresses more when it can, and less when it doesn't have to.....this method is supposedly good for very dynamic music.....

I'll always take #3, but when I do compress to mp3 for dj'ing and my zen, I always go at least 192kbps/vbr...thats about as much as my ears can handle....

Phish doesn't write beautiful music...the beautiful music happens after the written parts.

<gainesvillegreen> now, if they could get their sound to be as good as the lights, we'd have a band hee-yah!!

Music is what feelings sound like.

all lossless all the time.  period.  Rotation on the iPod is too simple to not have lossless all the time.  Not to mention that you're basically storing yet another copy of the same thing you already have.  Finally, if things hold true, in about 5 years, the 1TB and 2TB flash iPod will take care of you.  I've always been patient with technology, and have always been satisfied with advances.  I waited to get an iPod until it could play lossless.  I always assumed gapless playback was coming, and I was right.  Now I know that for a few years I'll rotate as I have been (which is nice for shuffle too because it won't be playing ALL Phish), but when it's available, keeping an entire archive on your HD, backed up to disc, and on your iPod will be simple.  Because we've got a band.
There are 10 types of people in this world.  Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

What is a band without archived lossless?
"There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese."          -Bobby Finstock
