I don't know if I should :laughing: or :shakehead when I hear people say things like that. No good? Come on. Consider how and where you actually listen to the stuff.
I think it's some kind of bad habit that all audio enthusiasts have when comparing sound, the wording we always use makes everything look like 'night and day' differences, they aren't!
I always like to think that the drawbacks of 128kbps are kind of like the Cree rings (anyone still remember those?)
Sure, you can spot it out easily if you wanted to, but in actual use, it won't bother you one bit.
EAC is Exact Audio Copy, pretty much a fancy CD ripper program. It can read sections of the CD multiple times to make sure it didn't read incorrectly and it lets you encode in whatever codec you like.
