Re: Re(2): Re(2): TI-H: MP3s
You lost me. No offense, but I wonder if you know what you're talking
about. All a CD is is a bunch of 1's and 0's which sound exactly the same if
played via the cd-rom drive or directly off your hd in wav form. Mp3's are
merely compressed versions of these wavs which are then decompressed in real
time (or buffered depending on your decoder settings) and played via your
wav stream on your sound card. I'm not too knowledgable about sound cards,
but I know this is true, and mp3s should sound the same on any sound card
that can play 16-bit+ wav's.
