MP3s, menus, taskbars --- Prepositions

0 Hi, 02br
00I think there are no definite answers to the questions I'm going to post, but anyway, here you go:02br
02br
01b001)02b00 If you have an MP3 encoded at 128kb/s and one at 320kb/s, the latter is 01u01i01b00in02b02i02u00 high quality. That's not really so high, you have to listen to classic CDs if you want to listen to songs (recorded) 01u01i01b00in02b02i02u00 high quality.02br
02br
00So the question is, can something be 01u01b01i00in02i02b02u00 high quality, or be recorded, broadcasted, encoded, etc. 01u01b01i00in02i02b02u00 high quality? What should I use?02br
02br
01b002)02b00 Is something 01i01u01b00in02b02u02i00 a toolbar or 01b01i01u00on02u02i02b00 a toolbar? 01u01i01b00In02b02i02u00 the taskbar or 01u01i01b00on02b02i02u00 the taskbar? 01u01i01b00In02b02i02u00 the menu (bar) or 01u01i01b00on02b02i02u00 the menu (bar)? 01b01i01u00In02u02i02b00 the options or 01u01i01b00on02b02i02u00 the options? - I searched on the net, and it seems both ways are ok, probably "in" is more common.02br

0 I see, thanks.02br
00I also asked someone else, and they prefer "in" with "taskbars, menu, etc." So probably there's no right answer. As I told you, it seems both are in use anyway (and you prefer "on" for example).02br

00Sometimes prepostions are tricky...02br
