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.
If you don't like the compression, why don't you just buy the R2 DVDs when it comes out? There's a good chance there will be a Linear PCM track on it. 128kbps sounds generally fine for speech. For music, the TV size songs generally don't sound that good either, since they've been dynamically compressed for TV broadcast. Get the CD single if you want better versions (and longer versions too).
