What quality is downloaded music
When you download music for free you are happy to settle for MP3 but if paying about £1 per track what quality (file type) do you get?

I would like at least 192kbps CBR or a high quality VBR file.

Yes they're compressed, but the higher the bitrate the less compression, and audio "artefacts" will be less too.
I certainly wouldn't pay £1 a track, http://www.allofmp3.com tends to be a little controversial but the price is right and you can select the quality. 196 is okay but nowhere near audio CD standards. 128 is listenable to, but you'll definitely notice audio artefacts in the higher frequencies (that's of course if you've a sensitive ear). If I were paying for a download I wouldn't want it less than 256 bit. . |

If you can download in APE then that is a losless compressable format which is cool.

As for CBR against VBR, again a much argued subject. Personally I'd go for a Constant Bit Rate encoding as then you'll be guaranteed the quality you want, even if the file size is slightly larger. . |
