digital music

I'm always on the lookout for the best possible quality in audio files. Several of my friends can't tell the difference between a 192kbps bitrate mp3 and one that is 320kbps. My roommate swears up and down that there is no audible difference between a 320kbps mp3 and something lossless, like FLAC. We had a blind test where he opened the same song in different qualities, and I had to determine which had the higher bitrate. That was pretty interesting, i got 9 of 10 right (this was with a good audio system, of course). I'm glad I have good ears and can tell the difference between this stuff!

There's nothin like listening to vinyl though.

do you think as the online digital music culture expands and grows, quality of music available will also? I'm betting yes.
