"With the possible exception of the USB Key that survived a washing and drying cycle, no other Maximum PC Challenge has ever surprised us as much as this one. It’s downright humiliating, in fact, that in many cases, we were unable to tell the difference between an uncompressed track and one encoded at 160Kb/s, the bit rate most of us considered the absolute minimum acceptable for even portable players. Some follow-up testing confirmed our suspicions: variable bit rate encoding makes a tremendous difference in the audio quality results, certainly enough to justify—many times over—the slight file size increase. Capping the bit rate at 160Kb/s in MP3 files can be pretty harsh on a track, but allowing the bit rate to wander upwards during more complex passages—as variable bit rate encoding does—and throttle down during quieter sections captures an astonishing amount of complexity while keeping file sizes down to an impressive minimum."
So why do you off road?Brian

Back in the late 80's I had the finest pint I'd ever tasted in the Four Marys in Linlithgow - it was Belhaven 90/- (That's Ninety Shilling for those too young to remember real money !) and it cost £1.48 a pint - the reason I remember the price is cos that was a bleeding fortune then !
Unfortunately 2 weeks later I had an even better pint of Abbott in the Malt Shoval in Edinburgh - I'd had loads of Abbott before but the pint served there was in perfect condition and I've had nothing as good since (Well not beer anyway)
But to put Scottish beer into perspective, at the time I was working in Stirling (Spent 9 months there) and my mates and I had an ongoing quest to find the best pint in the town - I still pray that we didn't find it cos the very best we drank there was mediocre to say the least !
Life is too important to take seriously !
