Wow, I'm not used to big forums at all o.o
Thank you for all your responses
!
And now, let's start..

Mozaik Role is the only one where MP3 encoding has real troubles making it sound transparent at bitrates lower than 320kbps, the rest is pretty bass heavy or just not that hard on the encoder to begin with...
pretty much this
do this with orchestral/instrumental music and you will absolutely hear a difference between all three with ease even through laptop speakers
good little app though
Thank you
To be honest, I don't know
anything very much about mp3 encoding, so I've chosen the songs randomly
Maybe I'll upload a version with other kinds of music to see the difference between the results... maybe..

It's pretty easy.
Just listen to the highs freq shit, anything lower than 320Kbps gets snubbed slightly and sounds more... flat I guess.
Can't think of the word.
Humans generally can hear up to 20 kHz. With modern encoders, higher frequencies are cut first. You can see this by looking at spectrograms and it's a good way of checking for transcodes because you can easily see if the frequency range is too low for the bitrate.
Does this mean that songs with lower frequency have less audible loss than songs with higher frequency? Or just the opposite thing? Or neither? (I dunno
)

Also, I'm wondering if you encoded all of these from a lossless source or did them all from the 320 you grabbed.
The point of this test is to decide if I should re-encode my 320Kbps files to a lower bitrate or not. So I encoded the other files from the 320 one

Alright, and now a genius conclusion: It depends on the ear and the song if the bitrate makes any difference.
(So I still don't know what do do with my files
!)
EDIT: Oh, there are really a lot of smiles in the post, It's fine?
