Ok, so what's the real deal about mp3? obviously anyone can tell the difference between 64Kbps and CD quality. Fewer people (not talking audiophiles here, just the untrained-eared, average jack) can tell the diff between 128 and CD quality, far fewer can tell the diff between 192 and CD, and i confess i get lost when it goes above 224. So really, where is the point where Mp3 and CD quality are the same? does this never happen because of the inherent limitations of lossy compression?
i must admit i am a vinyl freak, and that i own very few CDs i actually LISTEN to rather than hear. And my equipment is also by no means real HI-FI.
so where does MP3 sound like CD? does it?
