Now, having said that, there's one reason your MP3 might be less crisp than your CD. High-frequency rolloff. This was mentioned elsewhere in this thread, and it's in the FAQ. Most encoders will roll off extremely high frequencies unless you go into the encoder's options and deliberately change the setting. Make sure you've done this.

Since you seem to be the MP3 man.. :>
What's the 'Emphasis' flag setting that I see in Cool Edit and Soundforge? (I don't remember what the three settings were off hand, Other than the 'No Emphasis', I mean.)
