Most people can’t tell the difference between a 320kbps mp3 and lossless

I’d be surprised if anyone could.

However, 128kbps vs. 192kpbs+ is like night and day, and it’s especially obvious with better equipment.

People who say 128kbps mp3 is fine, are full of shit. I’ve been to weddings where it’s been so obvious that whoever’s in charge of the music is just blasting 128kpbs mp3s and it’s brutal.
