Are any audiophiles here? I'd say I'm a learning g audiophile. I've always had that "ear" for sound and it's only grown with age. I'm able to tell distinct differences in sounds and frequencies and some day, when I have the money >.>, I want to have a huge audio setup to learn and play with to get the best sound.
Anyone else here kinda like that? :O

if an audiophile is someone who only collects their music in Flac to ensure the highest quality then I guess I'm guilty. I guess I don't really care as long as an MP3 doesn't sound like It went through the washer after I port it to my phone, so that's why I collect the Flac files and convert them so I can guarantee the highest quality :)

Hold up. Transferring MP3s to other devices lowers quality? If that's true, that explains why the music I dragged to various devices throughout the years started to sound like crap. I thought I improperly ripped them from the CDs as a kid and didn't realize until I got better headphones (/ taste).
Over time I've become more concerned with sound quality. Not to an audiophile degree, I don't think. I don't obsess over it or anything. And to an audiophile my headset is probably a cheap piece of crap. It does the job fine, in my opinion, though I'd like to get a better set if I had the money and other priorities straightened out.

That's not true. MP3 can be perfectly fine and the only thing that will degrade it is actively re-encoding it; The same way just opening and looking at a jpg won't degrade it (common misconception), it's every time you modify and save it that degrades it.
Most likely it's just low-quality MP3 files from the start and you only gradually started noticing it over time.
That said, it's possible with Apple-devices (iphone, ipod) that it might degrade a little over time since these sometimes like to convert your music to Apple-friendly formats like AAC.

raises paw..."Guilty"
currently burning my whole cd collection (probably over 10000 discs) into iTunes... nothing better to do while I heal from surgery, so...
Disc in... disc out... repeat ad nuaseum...
-
That doesn't sound too fun! Good luck with healing from your surgery though, i'm sure the music will help you through it! :)

It's actually not bad, good computer, loads most pretty quickly.. Been working on it all week, have 44.5GB loaded, and only about 1/2 way thru..
This is the second time.. previous external drive tanked..
-
Dang, i usually don't get too much trouble with external drives! I'm currently labouring over the mix of some self-produced music and i'm starting to lose focus.
-
well then, focus on what you're doing!!!!
