Anyone making music can do whatever they wants with their music, music is not not public property and artists can value them at any price they want, even if it goes against other artists, labels and consumer views on pricing.
I can record a fart and put it up on a download store for sale for 100 dollars if I want, if I value that fart at 100 bucks then so be it, if you don't want to buy it at that price then don't...
You may not like the pricing and you are welcome to complain about it but it's upto whoever the artists is, no one else.

well, in that case, it pushes Scott Brown out of the competitive market.

This is what i was saying. If he makes less money because of it then that's his problem isn't it? And his choice. There is absolutely no logic behind then pirating such music, which some people seem to think there is, just because they don't like the fact that they don't want to pay for it, lol.

192kb/s files are outrageous full stop.
& to the deadhead that started this joke of a topic...do us all a favor & tell this to Scott in person while he's wielding his trusty blade.

If your buying an mp3 then 192 isn't really much worse than 320. Doesn't matter what the bitrate is, an mp3 is an mp3.

It does matter... what makes you think it doesnt?
If I want a pint of beer, I dont want to be served stuff with no alcohol in... or if I want to buy a carton of milk I want it to have milk inside it.
A Carton of milk is a carton of milk regardless of how much milk is in it. That view is very flawed.

Not really. All mp3's sound relatively shit. If the argument was for a wave file vs mp3 then it would be more valid.

You miss the point entirely. There is a difference, a substantial difference, between a 192 and a 320... I'm bemused to how you cant understand that.

no no, you've got him wrong :) he knows that that much of a bitrate change is quite noticeable, he's just saying that mp3s suck compared to lossless formats.
320 mp3s are ok to me, but i still always prefer lossless over any lossy audio format when it comes to music, mainly the flac format!

i'm quite happy with 192kbps
perhaps if i was a CDJ instead of just a regular turntable DJ i would be picky (especially if i was playing out CDs)
but otherwise 192kbps, i dont like anything lower than that though!

read what i said :3
oh, i also forgot to mention that encoding has a say in the quality too, so don't forget that!

ahh fair enough, I see what your saying but like we all know, 320kb/s MP3's are missing a lot of high end frequencies as it is so why there's an option to loose even more is beyond me.
@ Tri - fair point, if your having a mix for your own pleasure & are happy with the sound of 192's then that's entirely up to you but it does my nut in when you go to events & you hear DJ's (usually lesser known ones) playing MP3's at anything under 320. It's so obvious. If I play out on CDJ's or even if i'm looking to get the volume cranked, I use Wav's instead. Better yet, trusty Vinyl's = )

I still don't know how people can tell the difference between WAVs and 320MP3s. And even at that, being able to tell the difference at live events.
I swear you guys are lying, or at best listening to music on your super high-end systems with nothing to distract you from focusing on the quality of the music.
I guess my ears are just that untrained, I can only tell the low quality from a bad CD rip or Youtube rip.
