Rubbish, I have well over 1,000 pristine vinyl records, but a well
recorded digital file properly encoded at maximum VBR or 320kbs fixed
rate will beat most, if not all of them. Most by a *long* way!
Why anyone would continue to equate MP3 with 128kbs (or less) files
these days is beyond me. But then the whole debate is irrelevant now
when storing uncompressed files or ALAC/FLAC files is cheaper and takes
less physical space than 64kbs MP3 did only a few years ago!
And ***FAR*** less cost and size than vinyl records!!!!!!!!!


Trevor, my experience is that you're almost always right. But what comes
out of a FM transmitter nowadays appears to be encoded at less than 320
kbits.
