On this point I add that I hate both formats because of the lossy
nature. I rip CD's to flac and then convert as required for my mp3
player which does support ogg.
My wife cannot notice the difference, even with good headphones on and I
cringe at most mp3 music. My biggest problem is "Stairway to Heaven" I
have yet to get a good ogg or mp3 version of this song. Same with many
live recordings.
Yes, Stairway and the Battle of Evermore I had to rerip at 320 bps to
get rid of an echo in both songs. The rest of my collection is 256,
with a few exceptions. I don't really like live recordings, so I
haven't tried those.
The versions from Symbols? Do you remember what time/part it was at?
If you're already ripping to flac, are you listening to them as flac?
I know that mplayer will play flacs.
I'd guess he's using mp3 for a hardware player. While a few will
play FLAC it's quite space hungry.
