you have to keep in mind though (I have a degree in audio/video production as well) that the vast majority of consumer sound systems will make it impossible to tell the difference between a mediocre quality mp3 and a good quality one. Most consumer systems just aren't set up to reproduce sound accurately. In fact, the ones I'm seeing on shelves lately seem to emphasize blinky lights rather than sound quality. I've never seen so many useless light displays on a stereo before (graphic EQ's have been replaced with animations of diving dolphins. WTF?) And while you're being hypnotized by the shiny stuff, you fail to notice that the sound is ALL bass (and badly distorted bass at that) with a bit of mids and crap for high. With this kind of garbage showing up in most homes and cars, you don't need good quality recordings because the stereos can't reproduce it anyway!
