320. I prefer live music to be FLAC. I'm not sure why. I have a 350 song Old School Hip Hop mix that I made years ago at 128 so it would fit on two discs that I wish I put together with a better bit rate but I'm not tracking all those songs down again.

What's the deal with listening at 432 hz?

I'll settle for mp3@320 or AAC@256 if it's the most sensible option, but even if I load the lesser quality files on my phone I still prefer to own lossless copies. I do most of my listening on CD anyway so it's usually not a concern.

Me too, actually - I just don't carry everything with me at once.
Ah, interesting. I like to have it all at my fingertips. But I've been out of space for a while, so it won't be long before I gotta start making some decisions.
That's what I'm going to be doing over break because the HDD in the Classic is starting to sound terrible.

iTunes Match could do this all for you. Only $25, and they would match your tracks to better versions in their library.
wait, what does the bitrate have to do with how many discs it will fit on?

He burned them as data, not audio, discs. So size mattered.

320/v0 if I already have the LP or CD. Flac mostly otherwise. But I have to admit, since I don't stream digital to the Hi Fi just yet, I can't really hear that much a difference on my phone and $12 earbuds

I have Spotify premium, so I stream at their "extreme" quality, which is 320. I also have about a TB worth of FLACs. I was gonna switch to Google Music, because they started "supporting" FLAC, but then I read that it actually just gets converted to a 320 MP3, which, to me, isn't really "supporting" FLAC.
I have no idea what quality my song files are. Most of my library is ripped from CD's and the rest are either Napster downloads from college or iTunes purchases over the years.
I mainly listen from my iPhone now either through an audio cable to the Aux jack in my car, through the iPhone speaker itself with my phone in my pocket while walking the kids in their stroller, or through my $8 headphones.

same. i prefer at least 192 but since 90% of my listening is done via a) phone into car radio adapter or b) computer speakers at work, worrying about quality seems silly.

I mean, I probably do care. But I have no way of knowing. I don't pay attention to what I'm listening to. I just listen to it in whatever form it comes in and I move on with my day. Like, if I spin a record. I play it. If it's on Spotify, I click play. If it's a CD, fine. If it's a YouTube clip, whatever. I have no idea what any of these quality levels are. I just listen to what I can and move on down the road.
