for now, i'm on POS speakers (z-560s) but i plan on picking up either some near field monitors or some sennheiser HD600s+an amp, or some Etyolimic (i always butcher the spelling) research ER-4 canalphones in december.

Anything higher than 160k and i don't hear much change. To me at least, so it suits my purposes. :::shrugs::

sweet mother of god! Ill give you my first born for that collection...
Right now here are my stats:
3,005 Files
352 Folders
21.0 GB
22,609,816,704 bytes
Almost all are full albums (I have 250+ CD's) using --r3mix in Lame. But lately I've been getting 70+minute livesets of electronica DJ's which are 160/192.
Edit: Folders now instead of files for the second one.

Lets see, I started encoding my mp3's LONG ago. Back when --r3mix was the best out there. And you know what? It works fine for me. So I just continue to use it. Yeah, I know about the alt-preset-XXXX stuff, but I don't feel like converting all the mp3s over to that. I mean, I have over 3000 songs, I am not about to go thru and redo them.
And the mp3's sound damn good to me at this setting. Either at or near the CD.
Whatever.. mp3s and oggs are fine. Oggs are better but Mp3's are more popular so I live with them both.

Dayum!
It's most impressive that you have that much music accessable at one time!
If I had that much harddrive space, I might have that much..
Got about 30gigs on hardrive and a bunch of CD-R's
BTW... why an onscreen keyboard ?

I wonder if you would even be able to tell the difference
between a 192 - 256 Kbs MP3 and the orginal CD
in a double blind test.

Because I have a Mac keyboard on my PC and there is no Prnt Scrn key. So I opened the onscreen keyboard to take a screenshot.

Dude, those thumbnails on the folders are BADASS!!!! Must take up a lot of room though...I mean, at 256kb/s CBR(what I encode at) the average CD takes up approx 70mb. BTW, 185 Gigs!!!! :Q:Q:Q:Q Do you have two of those monster WD drives or are you running a JBOD span?
USE MPC!
Download this encoder package. Extract the files. mppenc.exe is the encoder for MPC.
Download this WinAMP plug-in package. Extract the files to your WinAMP plugin directory.
Download this OggDrop-like front-end package.
Use "mppenc --standard --xlevel [filename.wav]" if you prefer encoding through the console.
Now you tell me: have you heard any other format that sounds so perfect while only consuming around 175kbps?
APE = Monkey's Audio is 100% perfectly perfect but who wants to "spend" 700-800kbps when MPC's ~175kbps is so nearly perfect?

LOL you obviously missed the point of my post. I am making fun of him because he thinks he's cool that he has a lot music. But now I don't care about him, because my joke applies even more to you!!

Wow, for a minute there I thought maybe that it was possible for Nuclearfusi0n1 to create a thread that was not yet another plug for Monkey's Audio and a slam of MP3. Silly me!
