I treat mp3 as a convenience and don't let the 'lack' of quality bother me. I don't think that it was ever envisaged as particularly high quality but is simply a bit easier than carrying loads of cd's and a portable player.
On certain types of music (or sounds) you can become aware that it is an mp3 even at higher rates but that really depends on how sensitive you are and how responsive your headphones are.
I stick to vinyl or cd for quality and mp3 just for convenience.
