aye, lossy audio has come a long way from when it used to be utterly dreadful and companies made claims like '96khz and you won't be able to tell the difference from cd!' (if you listen to your music through mile-long straws).
I still rip to lossless formats though, simply because HD storage is getting cheaper by the month, and shrinking to mp3 from lossless is easily done.
I almost feel ashamed to admit even on my hifi, i'm not sure i can tell the difference between lossy and lossless...anyone know any tools for this to blind test myself
