I'm too lazy to search for a thread on these guys so if there already is one sorry. I downloaded "Cease To Begin" and it is awesome. "Is There A Ghost"... what a great song. One of my favorites this year so far, anyone else dig these guys?

Thye kind of just seem like your generic indie rockers. Nothing I've heard has really stood out to me. They're good, but nothing unique that really grabs me.
Plus, they sold out to Ford and fucking Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart.

fwiw, they cancelled the Wal-Mart contract after Wal-Mart aired the commercial on TV. it was meant for a web only piece.

They still sold a song to Wal-Mart, though. That's essentially supporting slave labour.

i just listened and realized i have a horrible bitrate
which?
mine is v2
I still don't know what v0 is.
V0 is a variable bitrate preset for LAME(mp3) compression.
Basically, it's high quality MP3 with variable bitrate
There's a trade off between bitrate and size. 320 being CBR means it uses a lot of space that isn't strictly speaking taken up by music. Even silence is captured at 320 kbps using 320CBR.Variable bitrates only code what they need to so are more space efficient. If you look at the graph on the link shown above, you'll see the gain in quality at 320 over Vo is minimal whilst the increase in size is disproportionate. Realistically, the gains in quality after V2 are very small with the size about doubled at 320.
Here's a nice graph.
