HI folks,
I personally do not care for 22.5khz as a sampling frequency if it is to represent a full bandwidth recording. Bit reduction and lower fs are great for "lofi" stuff. I have sampled my tron and converted to a number of bit length/sampling rates and 22.5 sucks. Mp3 encoders are not all the same. I rely on Bias Peak for mp3 encoding and I always make 'em as large as I can, they still end up being pretty small. Interestingly, itunes does a pretty good job of mp3 conversion.
Just bought the Yamaha CRW-F1 cd burner with "Audio Master recording" mode and yes, the difference is stunning compared to a cd burned on a conventional drive.
