i was just thinking what is better and i think that even though bin files are begger than iso+mp3 they are better and easy to burn,however i'm intrested to know what do you guys think and what you like the most?

I can't even burn bin/cue sucessfully I have to always run it through ISO Buster and build a new cue file to get anything to work at all.

I can burn both forms fine, however BIN+CUE is preferred.

with bin cue i reccomend use cdrwin, i have had next to no trouble with it

Bin/cues are considered better by purists as they are an exact copy of the disc. Let's not debate that train of thought again.

Iso/mp3s are considered better by some FTP owners and by dial-up internet users as the files tend to be smaller. There's debate about that too.

Writing cuesheets isn't that hard in the first place, but with Lodger's Saturn cue maker... and burning software that can convert mp3s on the fly, there's not much difference in terms of ease of use between bin/cue and iso/mp3.

I myself prefer ISO+MP3 just cuz of the size differences. If it's ripped correctly from the original disc in a high enough bit-rate there really is no quality lost, I usually rip my MP3s at 192 minimum. But both are easy enough to deal with.

Mp3 is a lossy compression scheme, quality is lost at WHATEVER bitrate you encode at. I can tell when a song has been 'mp3'd' up to about 256kbps because the technology is so shoddy. Ogg vorbis on the otherhand is much higher fidelity and I usually cant hear any artifacts at 192 unless the song is REALLY dynamic.

Well I've heard stories of people who can tell that MP3 loses quality and I don't doubt you can do it. But for me, I really can't tell one bit. Guess I just don't pay too much attention to little bits of lot quality. MP3 is good enough for me.

I used to tote around an mp3 player and TRUST me , when you are forced to listen to 128kb music, you want to puke.. always 320 for me and the minidisc now..
