Just to put my two cents.
1. MP3 allows to save money.
2. MP3 allows to keep compressed the stuff which is less than best for you
and does not worth even a CD burn from your point of view.
3. MP3 on bit rates higher than 192 coupled with VBR (Variable Bit Rate)
cannot be differenciated from original sound even on the studio equipment
and exceptional hearing as VBR does not allow the sound to be lost, just
silence gets cut (compare to usual file compression like zip).
4. MP3 can be traded and found via Internet.
5. THE MOST IMPORTANT: There will be released in mid February (at least
that's what promised) a new revolutionary CD player Mambo-X P300 allowing to
play CDs full of mp3s at any bitrate and with VBR. Do not even compare it to
the sound from your soundcard, this will be absolutely new level of mp3
sound proccessing with high quality DAC. This is the dream for mp3 fans, I
pre-order it right now.
I know that there are better ways to compress music (AAC, etc.) but mp3 is
worldwide standard already and coupled with VBR it does not make sound worse
in any case.
128bps - sux! Not mp3.
