shyt is crazy in quality it is in cd quality basically only mp3 320 kbps is in near cd quality
.WAV is what Windows uses to contain a CD that you rip onto your computer, in a bit for bit lossless transfer of music from the CD onto your computer. So Wav is a lossless format that holds a bit for bit, 1 to 1 carbon copy of digital information. A MP3 file is a lossy file format. What MP3 does, is take music from either the CD, or WAV file, and compress the music down to a smaller file size. A 3 minute song of a WAV file song will be around 18mb in size. A MP3 of the same song will come in around 6mb in size.
However, in order for the MP3 to compress music, it has to throw out digital information from the CD or WAV file. An MP3 works by a process known as perceptual hearing. An MP3 will take sounds from the original source material, (In this case, either the CD or WAV file.) and throw out the sounds it doesn't think human ears can hear, and it will keep the sounds people can hear. This is why MP3 is considered a lossy format. Even at MP3's maximum quality setting, it is still inferior to a CD / WAV files sound quality. (Even if humans can't hear the loss in audio quality.)
At a bit rate of 128kbps, MP3 sounds as good as a audio cassette tape.
At a bit rate of 192kbps and above, MP3 is sounds nearly 1 to 1 with a CD in terms of sound quality.
But audiophiles won't touch MP3, because MP3 is still missing nearly half the sound of the WAV / CD.
WAV = large file size, but 1 to 1 carbon copy of the original source format. (IE. CD, Tape etc....) There is ZERO loss in sound quality. WAV is a completely lossless music codec. Ultimate quality sound!
MP3 = smaller file size. Near CD quality sound. flexible with any type of portable audio devise. MP3 is a lossy audio codec. Wont match WAV quality sound. But will take up less space then WAV.

@ most average listeners can't tell the difference
