| Is it though? Voice consumes so much less sonic bandwidth than music. I imagine the codec places extra emphasis on faithfully reproducing voices, since our brains are so wired to perceive them. A 256kbps spoken word recording is going to be a lot higher quality, comparatively, than a musical recording. |

For whatever reason, if someone were interested in knowing exactly which bits were on the CDs, my copy wouldn't suffice. Trust me, I know I wouldn't be able to hear the difference in an ABX test. |

| Nah. Even at 128kbps for voice mp3 is completely transparent. Try an ABX sometime. |
