As for mp3 files, I don't see them going away too quickly simply because there is so much of them out there and has become a format standard on the internet.

I have tried mp3pro and listened to files at the 64k rate and what I get from it is it sounds better than an mp3 encoded at 64k but I don't think it quite equals an mp3 encoded at 128k. Maybe its the RCA player but I cant say for sure.

I would like to hear some mp3pro files that are encoded at 128kb and higher to make comparisons there. This would be a good test to see if without increasing the filesize mp3pro produces the music with less loss of quality of an mp3 file.

Now I am not an audiophile per se, but I can tell a poorly encoded mp3 vs a well encoded one, but any mp3 format music I have burnt on to an audio cd has sounded very good and I dont really hear any or much loss of quality. Note: Anything I have burnt on to cd has been an encoded mp3 at a bitrate of 192 or better.
