I just told you, I notice it. Are you calling me a liar?

Stuck up audiophile? Yes I am, that's why all of the music on my computer comes from my own CDs.

Just to be clear, you're talking about 128 CBR MP3, correct?

If so, it's not anywhere near good enough for music. The mid cuts and compression in the highs really kills the sound. I'm not so hard up for HD space that I would consider crappier sound just to save a few MB.
