Rule 2: Use a volume equaliser program when assembling your own playlist If using other software, search the program’s help file for ‘bit rate’ or ‘import settings’. In iTunes 8 the import settings can be found by going to iTunes->Preferences- >General->Import Settings and selecting ‘Custom’ from the drop-down menu. Importing at 256kpbs will create bigger files that take up more storage space on your computer and your device, but the results you hear at the club will be closer to CD quality and not back to the bad old days of sounding like you’re using cassettes for your class music. Put simply, there are losses of detail at both ends of the ‘loudness’ spectrum. In more gentle music, such as that used in the various styles of stretch classes, the breathy detail of a solo flute or the decay of a single piano note is shortened. So, what did you lose with the halved bit rate in your 128kbps download? Clean bass notes and bass drum beats for a start – their loud peaks sound like rounded, ill-defined blurs – and when amplified to a typical class volume can sometimes come out with what can only be described as a ‘farting’, distorted bass sound.
While still not quite CD-quality, 256kbps MP3 tracks retain much more information than 128kbps tracks and are nearly impossible to distinguish from CD. Rule 1: Always import your class music into iTunes 256kbps iTunes Store downloads start at 128kbps, which is adequate for listening to music on the bus or while jogging, for example, but there are compromises involved in compressing the music to downloadable size. The first thing to understand about MP3 compressed music files is the bit rate, the kbps (kilobytes per second) of the digital music data stream.
