Title: Re: OT That 'sizzle sound' of Mp3s

A 44.1kHz 16 bit stereo audio file, which is the red book CD standard, uses about 10MB per minute,  and a 320kbps MP3 will use about 2.3MB per minute,  22.3% of the storage space.. a savings of 77%

So how much smaller is a 320kpbs MP3 file then a standard wav file percentage -wise?

I don't think one can discuss mp3 sound quality without referencing a bit rate. At 96kbps, it's crappy. At 120kbps, it sounds just OK. At 320kbps, it sounds pretty damn good.

 

Mp3 is not the problem, IMO. It's the bit rate.

I'm just amazed that people accept the MP3 sound quality at all.
