I was told MP3 music does not sound as good as CD's, is that true ?

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely not. MP3, also known as MPEG layer 3, is todays advanced technology of being able to reduce the size of audio files using a patented compression method. The basic technique to achieve this is to make use of the masking effect and the psychoacoustics of the human ear. Experts were not able to tell the difference between a CD and an MP3 file compressed at 256 kbits/s.

What does the Sleep Deprivation CD sound like?

FAQ About Insomnia, Sleep Deprivation And Sleep Disorders
The main Sleep Deprivation CD track contains the relaxing tones designed to influence your brainwaves and help you fall to sleep. These tones continuously resonate and "vibrate", getting slower as the recording progresses. There's also soothing music played on top of the tones, to relax you further. You can play the CD at any volume. Even at minimum volume, the binaural beats are generated in exactly the same way... meaning you still fall to sleep quickly, not matter how quietly you play the CD.

Subject: 1.4 What does gothic music sound like?

alt.gothic FAQ
Thanks to John Mc Donagh aka Nascent Virion for a list of what bands he though typified the Gothic sound. Some may disagree, but this is a rather decent representaion of GENERAL catagories. Clan of Xymox (Synth, almost dancey) * Southern Death Cult (SDC) later split in all directions. Only SDC are condsidered properly Gothic. However many of Southern Death Cult's Goth followers remained true even when they entered their 'The Cult' glam metal phase.

I have been told not to buy a spa with a lounger. Is it true that a lounger is not good in a spa?

The Spa Specialist- Frequently Asked Questions::.
In the old days, and today in some rather peculiar spas, the loungers do not work. The reason is simple. In water, the best way to float is to lay back. For most people with normal fat content in their body a lay-back lounger is a bad idea. I have seen some spa brochures with these lay back loungers. The picture depicts a really skinny woman in the lounger.

My neighbors have told me that installing mulch rings around trees is good. Is that true?

TCIA | Tree Care Industry Association Staff
Homeowners and professional arborists depend on mulch in landscapes for several reasons. Functionally, mulches discourage weeds from growing, conserve moisture during drought periods, and allow better use of water by controlling runoff and increasing water-holding capacity of light, sandy soils. Mulches help maintain a uniform soil temperature.

How do I make an audio CD from an MP3?

FAQ - CBSRMT Show of the Week - CBS Radio Mystery Theater - ...
Use the software that came with your burner. Specify that the burn will be an "audio CD". Drag the mp3(s) to your layout. That's it. Note that you will get a maximum of 74 or 80 minutes of audio on each CD-R; this boils down to two 30-minute shows or one 60-minute show. Use 74min CD-R media for maximum playability. Some players have problems with CD-R, more with 80min media, and still more with CD-RW.

How much music/sound is on each CD?

Ease CD
My child has problems with consonants. She can start words with 'd', 'b' and 'ou', but she can't at all say words beginning with 'c/k' or 'g'. It doesn't seem that she is not hearing these words (although I could be wrong), she looks as though she is trying really hard to say them but she can't. She often will get the number of syllables correct but not the pronunciation. First, remember that sound is a temporal event.

Is the sound quality as good as replicated CD's?

FAQ
The sound quality of the new CD-R's should stand up to any replicated CD. They are basically the same thing. Digital information that is played back by your CD player. As long as you have a good master your CD's should sound the same with either process. A good master is very important. Make sure it is burned using "Disc-At-Once" mode. Multi-Session or "Track-at-Once" masters tend to have more errors which translates into more problems.
