MP3 v WAV

ThirdMan · 2010-07-12 12:22:08

Is WAV worth the extra expense? I'm a bedroom DJ who would one day like to venture beyond it. But am I setting myself up for a fall by only purchasing mp3's?

this has been debated here on numerous ocassions....personally, in my opinion....320kb mp3's are as good as you'll get!

digital-tunes.net sell WAV for the same price as 320's.

If you can play WAV then you should but 99% of people aren't going to be able to notice the difference between a 320 kbs MP3 and a WAV file. Especially so in a noisy club with presumably not the best sound system in the world.
