MP3players that can handle 15000KB - 22000KB with 48KHz

[lelouch283]

Does anyone know if there is an mp3player in this world that can handle songs in FLAC format with 15000KB - 22000KB with 48KHz I know....it's a lot.

... songs in FLAC format with 15000KB - 22000KB with 48KHz

What does all that mean?

You can look here and see if any of these devices meet your needs:

I don't think support for 48KHz will be a problem but I also don't understand what you mean by "15000KB - 22000KB".

Basically I have some songs in FLAC format. Each song is 100 megabites, so obviously these song are very high quality.

All I know is that each song has about 15000 or more KB's and they have been ripped from a blu ray disk.

In short, my mp3 player can't play these songs. Do you know an mp3player that can?

When i mean mp3 player, i mean something like an ipod.

Sorry guys, I MEANT 15000kbps-22000kbps INSTEAD of 15000Kb-22000Kb....

Not many media players play flac. jman98's link is probably the most comprehensive list you'll find.

so multichannel hidef audio? take my advice and convert this to the something like normal stereo - multichannel hidef audio in flac is probably possible only on PC with software player or flexible DSP players (but such player can play native hidef audio - TrueHD Dolby or similar)

There's two universes of audio, the professional audiophile purist, and the portable distributed Internet/YT/iPod type, and they don't mix.

Convert your stuff to 256K 24 bit and enjoy.

im not sure that i understand You correctly...

What I mean is that above 256K the quality benefit declines considerably, so why bother unless you're a purist.

Does a song sound better if it's kbps or khz is higher????

[budwzr]

One is bit depth, the other is bitrate. Example: 16 bit, 24 bit, 44K, 48K, 128Kbps, 256Kbps.

Yes, but there's a sweet spot and it depends on the individual case.

So long as your conversion is upsampled, you're OK. Upsampling means making a copy at a higher bitrate and bit depth. When you convert, the file is decompressed to .wav or other lossless format, then recompressed to the new format.

In this case, the conversion is "virtually" lossless, but technically lossy. Our hearing is not so great to tell the difference.

DISCLAIMER: Remember, "garbage in, garbage out", conversion or upsampling does not improve a bad recording.

Now it is more clear at least for me. THX!

there is no linear relation between kbps and kHz so the question is wrong, what is really worst (ok maybe not worst but it create some difference that create comparison and mathematical models - or very complex and/or not very reliable) that each of us have different "ears" (ears used as a description for general human hearing system) - there is no clear answer for such question and each answer can be wrong except generally more means better but You need good source at the begininng of whole chain - at the end of this chain there is only You and Yours ears and simple like or not like.
