No, that's not even close to the same thing

Even when I still used a shitty pair of $50 headphones to step, there's a HUGE difference between 192 and 320 for stepping. There are a lot of sounds that get lost between the two, and if you use DDReam, the waveform on the 192 is WAY harder to read than the 320. So yeah, having a 320 is kinda important for stepping

there's no "standard audio quality" for most stepmania files what are you even on about
also that wasted space sentiment is wrong as fuc

there's a noticable difference between 192 and 320 even on an integrated soundcard if you use any sort of headphones worth their salt. Shit, you can tell a difference with ****ing portapros. The whole "placebo effect" argument doesn't apply here

stepmania can't read flac or wav files ~owned~
