OPUS is always my go-to in situations where I need a lossy compressed audio format, it sounds great and can get pretty small if you need it to without much of a quality decrease.

Which this will tell you.

I can hear the 15K one but I can't hear anything above this at the office. Problem is I don't know if these shitty speakers attached to my office computer -have the frequency response range- to pick up on anything about 16KHz. A lot of cheap-ass speakers will cut off after a certain range or not be all that receptive.


I'm 31 and still hear the "teenagers only" one HORRIBLY LOUD even at 1% volume.

Suffering.


And yeah with good hardware I can tell a difference. But at places like work where I use inexpensive BT headsets in a generally louder environment it matters little.

Calling it now, you'll live to 120. Tell the world that we thought star bases would happen in 2100 AD because TMNT IV on the SNES told us as such.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
