What is the difference between 128kbps and 328kbps?

So I currently have two versions of the same song. When I click on the properties tab, one song displays 128kbps while the other displays 328kbps. Is there a difference (in audio quality) between them other than the used disc space? [Edited on 06.04.2009 9:20 AM PDT]

Will the quality change if I convert a song from 128 to 228?[/quote] As far as I know, no you can't. Just delete the current 12 kbps and download songs with a higher bit rate in future. I could be wrong.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] RockinPunk93 The higher the rate, the better quality it is. But you won't really be able to tell unless you have a high end ($400+) speaker setup.[/quote] I beg to differ. I have some crappy desktop speakers, but I can tell a huge difference between the two.

  • Audio quality. In terms of MP3s, 128 kbps is generally considered sub standard. I'd never download anything 128. 380 is very good quality. Uses a few extra MB, but is worth it, delete your 128 kbps version. [Edited on 06.04.2009 9:30 AM PDT]
