Sounds Good!

Not really. I bet if we did a blind A/B test with the original CD and a 192k mp3 of 10 random songs from your collection you wouldn't be able to tell the difference on most of them.

I have 1,180GB of hard drive space so I don't bother with mp3 other than for my mp3 player which is only 30GB. You're right that on my portable I can't often enough tell the difference (but I use Lame V0, not 192CBR) to justify using lossless, especially when I can fit 5,000 V0 mp3s vs. 1,200 lossless songs. On my home stereo systems I absolutely can, however. Yeah, maybe not always and maybe even only rarely, but these days with 500GB HDDs going for less than $100 and 160GB iPods why fuck with mp3 at all?

Okay, so we know have over 95 minutes worth of stuff, and that's not even including that long ass Mingus Big Band track. I'll wait about another week for others to contribute. We have good variety already but only five contributers. Maybe that's about as good as I can expect from this board nowadays but it seems to me that a group comp should be pooled from a larger group. This isn't basketball
