A question or two about Lifeflow...

Hi Bryan,

Yes, the sound quality of MP3's cannot be the same as that produced on CD and the downloaded file sizes are obviously going to be smaller than what would be produced as a WAV file (uncompressed sound data) from a CD. However, that fact doesn't detract sufficiently from the quality of what we hear and has no effect on the entrainment beats due to the lower frequencies of them (see my post above).

The downloads are just as good as if you were to buy the CD's and you won't notice any difference if you were to try both.

Hi Bryan,

here is a link to a reply from Raven which I posted a long time ago:-

MP3 tracks vs CDs

Hope it helps and wish you much peace and joy

Much thanks to you both. Very helpful. But, just for my interest, could anyone tell me -- in MBs -- how big the MP3 downloads are? I'm trying to get some sense of how much they are compressed, compared to CDs.

Tough decision. I'm very picky about sound...

Hi Bryan,

They are all (I think all, I've checked the first few anyway) 54.9 Mb in size, 40 minutes long and sampled at 192kbits/s
