mp3 and any MP3 player in the world will handle it. This (plus better error resiliency) is why broadcasters use MP2, and won't touch MP3.Īnd nobody better try to tell me they need MP3s for compatibility. The frequency domain coding required by MP3 causes distortions that the time domain coding of MP2 does not.
It's been pretty universally accepted for a very long time that, at 192K or above, MP2 sounds far better than MP3 can ever hope to, at any bitrate. It's a whole new level of sad to find people talking encoding their music to high-bitrate MP3s for better sound quality. It seems those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. What's worse, MP3 used significantly more CPU power to accomplish that small bitrate savings. It was barely any improvement at all over the MP2 files that were popular around the web. Today, with all the vast improvements to MP3 sound quality that have been made by LAME, such as VBR and psycho acoustic models, it's still less than a 33% bitrate reduction over MP2.Īt the time (mid to late '90s) when it was still CBR, and sounded pretty lowsy.
