I think this person seems totally happy with 256k MP3s despite what that last waveform clearly showed--that it's signficantly degraded from the original.

I myself am pretty happy with my MP3s but, given the choice, I'll take a lossless format. MP3s are just REALLY convienient becasue I can put my WHOLE CD collection in my pocket. Eventually 2.5" hard disks will allow me to do that as well and when that day comes I'll re-evaluate my needs.
