"Suddenly you don't hear a difference anymore. (...) It's a difference like night and day. And you can hear that, although the magnitude of the error is smilar, it hides very well behind the music." — .MP3 TECH TALK feature, taken from Slices Issue 3-11.

We are not talking about 196kps MP3s. I guess every professional uses min. 320.

The testing material should not be a dance track with a bunch of 16bit 44kHz pitchshifted and bitcrushed samples and minimal reverb. Should've been something from the 70s with acoustic instruments and super HQ reverb, IMHO.

Try yourself. If you don't have the so called "Golden Ears" it's not easy ;-)

Not Only ours ears listen frequencies but our body feel so... all frequencies are important, like funktion one state of mind.... To many Digital talker

Why assume instant discernment? Audible differences don't instantly manifest unless they are glaringly obvious. Anyone who works in audio knows that long term listening better reveals low level artifacts or subtle distortions that cause listening fatigue.

If you think iTunes sound worse than any other media players then your settings are wrong. iTunes can sound 100% transparent with the right settings.

don't play music via iTunes if you need a reference. There are way better sounding programs. Also, a digitalized Vinyl will not sound as good as mp3 because it can't be as loud (dynamic range) as a digital audio file. mp3 has a problem with overcompressed music. Young people tend to like the sound of mp3 more because they are used to the distortion.

dj use vinyls, real pros are working sounds only in their computers. (And by real pros I mean electroacoustic and electro-experimental musicians)

They were wearing a hat during the listen? Now you know why they did not hear a difference... Unbelievable, really...

if you aren't able to recognize the format you aren't able to listen to music

i can hear as soon as i walk into a flu if is mp3 or not...
mp3 has a weaker low sound. no doubt of that....

WAV is the winner in terms of digital files

This test as presented is very flawed. A simple test at my music school done with the best possible conversions to mp3 still had 80% of students getting the right answer. mp3 is good for people who don't care too much about quality.

This less detail and reduction of information makes it sound worse than the originals.
Have been in the audience of a few workshops so far and it is easy noticeable. No matter what they try to explain here, its just hearable on a good system with best recorded music; originals vs just converted to 320 mp3. And he is talking about fidelity.... far away.
"Normal ears" are absolutely enough for this by the way.

Its all right for mainstream pop thru blue tooth plastic speakers, but not more.
Therefore it fits to the average guy, thats simply market behaviour.

My opinion is, if it isn't worth of releasing on 12 inch its not worth even listening to.

The music they're using has the dynamics of a fart. A blend of mashed up 16 bit loops.
Nice test group too - jeez...can't tell the difference. Good luck with your audio careers lead ears! Sitting on the floor listening to generic Euro Trance is where you shall remain - LMAO

This is full of factual errors. is it industry propaganda??
just one example: the frequency response of the ear is dependant of the sound pressure level. (google "equal loudness contour").
i'm not going to waste any more of my time here.
