I've just downloaded some MP3s from Napster (only ones that I already have the CD's of- I'm not sure where I fall on the copyright issue yet). I'm listening and comparing the quality of mix. My questions are:
Is there a difference in quality from MP3 to MP3? I know from CD to CD varies, and as I listen to early Billy Joel vs. mid-career on MP3 I notice a hiss on the earlier. Is this CD quality of the person who originally uploaded the MP3? Is it the quality (or lack there of) in the earlier recording? I notice a difference on the CD's but not as markedly. Any help would help me with my mixing decisions.... Thanks.
