Most music encoded in 192 kbps MP3 and decent speakers sounds close enough to the original CD that I can't tell the difference. 128 kbps is all right, but it can sound a little "fuzzy" at times. Anything below 128 kbps is crap. I use Ogg Vorbis much more than MP3 and Ogg is a little better, with a 160 kbps Ogg Vorbis file being pretty much indistinguishable from thee original CD to me.

Have any of you seen results of a blinded, randomized test? That's really what is needed. Some special precautions also have to be taken (e.g., volume control). It's tricky. I feel the same as you, Jack, but it's hard for me to know what people really can here.

That was supposed to be "what people really can *hear*."

Anyway, I do know how to spell but I often replace the intended word with a homonym, though I usually catch myself. Jon King would probably know why that happens.
