Default Re: Quality of sound on ipods and other brands

Hi,
you're right MP3 files don't have a fixed quality. But even 128 kbps files built with an actual version of the codec sound very good these days. The number one reason for the decrease of sound quality you get from a MP3 player is the headphones. Even cheaper MP3 players sound much better with appropriate headphones.

Kind regards

Mark
