Do you care about the quality of your music?

search isn't working for me so sorry if this was posted..

will you only download something in the highest quality, or are you fine with 128kbps and lower bitrates?

Usually I would download 128kbps..the size is not too huge yet the quality is good. For rare songs, I wouldn't mind lower bitrates

good question & for me I don't really care . HQ's nice & all but I always tend to convert my files all the way to 48kpbs to maximise file space in my mp3player

Honestly I don't really care what bitrate my music is, because eventually I'll be getting my hands on the CD and listening to it on my stereo instead, haha. But other than that I only have built-in speakers on my monitor so anything I listen to is more or less the same. I only listen to my songs on my computer when I feel like listening to random songs while surfing the net.

As for putting my songs into my handphone I always convert them to 128kbps as the size is smaller

I do care about the quality, and always try to get a 320kbps mp3 version of songs, and if there isn't one available, then 192 or lower.

I don't mind for music too... 192/320 is okay for me.

BUT for videos... they must be as HQ as possible! I HATE watching LQ videos, especially if I want to take some screen shots or something....

When I'm ripping songs from my CDs to listen to in the computer I'll rip them at 160 or 192, depending on how much I'm ripping from one album, to save space. When I want to download something I just download the same quality or slightly higher. I'll take whatever I can get until I get the CD for myself and rip the songs. I suppose I'm in between.

Depends on the genre and how much I like the artist. All my Ayu albums and my american rock songs are in 320 kbps bitrate. Everything else I'm okay as long as it is atleast 128 kbps bitrate.
