I didn't think it made much of a difference until I was playing at a bar with a decent sound system. I became concerned about the sound quality because it all just sounded too muddled. As it turns out one of the DJs was playing 192 files and it almost sounded as if it was coming out of an old boom box. When I played my stuff at 320 it had a much nicer sound.

320's, Wavs or FLAC for djing. 192's are fine for ipods![]()

My experience is that the differences are amplified a lot over big PAs. At volume small differences become much more apparent, especially when there's good stereo spread and the gear is of quality.
I've done A/B testing with friends over club PAs and they the lower quality MP3s most of the time.
Wow thanks for all the advice. I mean whenever I spun somewhere, it was always on some tech's so I never worried about sound quality with the exception I kept my records clean and lint free. But now if I burn a CD of a mix I'm doing will I still have the same problem?
