FYI for you GTA fans : more music from the series can be found here in FLAC quality!

Neat, thanks for sharing.

After listening again and again to these.. I'm 99% sure the San Andreas radio stations have been "upscaled" to 320kb/s, but still sounds exactly the same as the the 160kb/s versions...

Yup, the 320kb/s files are wasted bandwidth. The quality is a little better, but barely.

• MP3 64 kbps: Cut-off at 11kHz.
• MP3 128 kbps: Cut-off at 16 kHz.
• MP3 192 kbps: Cut-off at 19 kHz.
• MP3 320 kbps: Cut-off at 20 kHz.
• M4A 500 kbps: Cut-off at 22 kHz.
• FLAC or WAV lossless: No cut-off

320kb/s file; quality is less than 128kb/s



160kb/s file; quality is 64kb/s



So is it better? Yes, but barely.
