Also played Fundamental (Mole's version)
Which basically has two demos after the album and the two Japanese extra mixes (though these are from the I'm with stupid single and iTunes).

I wondered has anyone else converted the album from release into .mp3 192 Kbps and not actually played the CDs? Music for me is changing. I tend to play more MP3s at 192 Kbps that I have made from CDs these days. Especially with MP3 players growing to the region of 4GB or even 20+ GB. I still prefer to buy the CDs and get the odd bonus by download - then convert them myself into computer format.

I'm going to do it properly when I have time and convert everything and make an MP3 disc called 'Everything' or probably, 'Almost'. I think as .MP3 192 Kbps most if not all main stuff will fit on 1x 4GB DVD-R. Especially moreso now that PSB have tracks all over the place that I want together.

192 KB/sec is good but if you want better quality make your files in VBR even in highest quality your files will probebly be smaller. I know it takes a little time to get familiar with the program but believe me, you'll love it in the end. Here is what you need (to know) best of all programms are all freeware. LAME is the best MP3 encoder ever released.

Try ogg. Winamp can play it, and it sounds much better than mp3.
If you're going to use mp3, I second the opinion that you might want to use VBR, since 192 kb/sec doesn't sound too great.

I listened to Fundamental last night on my stereo and the album is WASTED on itunes or digital format, you need to listen the the expanse of production on a proper hi-fi. Same goes for music full stop. You wouldn't look at paintings in a dark room, so why listen to music on digital. Vinyl and cds are still the way forward
