If I can't find FLAC, I'll download a 320kb version, anything lower sounds like sh!t the speakers in my living room. But like I said, you have to have a good source and speaker pair to ever tell a difference.

Thank you SS32, you are 100% right. What JayKay is saying is correct if you have an 'average' audio system (i.e. the audio system in 99.999% of our cars, or the ones attached to TVs). If you have a *good* system, there is certainly a difference.
As blake said, and you as well 320 bit rate is really good enough for me if I can't find the FLAC, anything lower and I can certainly tell the difference.
And I also agree that the 'digitizing' of music has also allowed quality to be completely dropped to the wayside.
