Hee hee seadzz, do I detect a bit of bias there.
0.something something of a difference hardly qualifies as a "stinko" especially at 128kbps.
Considering that most of the iTunes music stores competition only offer WMA (does anybody offer aotuV Ogg Vorbis ) I would say that is pretty good.

IMHO the only time 128kbps makes any sense is for streaming audio on websites. To pay Apple via iTunes or Walmart for WMA is nuts to me. I would much rather spend a few more dollars. pounds or whatever and buy then rip the actual CD. This way I select the codec and bitrate and it now sounds the way I want...not the way someone else thinks I should have it sound.
As of today June 12, 2004 all codecs stinko at 128 kbps....some sinko less than others but they all stink when used in DAP's as far as I am concerned. In the HA test others agree that there is a seperation of stinko-ness...some stink more or less than others at 128kbps.
