RE: That's too bad. No problem distinguishing 320 Kbps MP3 from CD on my system.

"As it happens, lost and long-deleted is pretty much how I like most folk music"

What a great line, generalizing the concept I can see a lot of future for it... Consider it plagerized!

I've been listening to a lot of "internet radio" of late and it's goodness seems far more determined by the station's engineering practices (and the source) than by the limits of the compressed audio. I don't doubt that Carcass can hear differences at the limits even with 320KB/s MP3 but I find that well done, even 128K can convey the, well, "soul" and excitement of the music but that 320 does it with a greater sense of ease which continues onward with uncompressed formats and higher bit rate streams. They seem more open and dynamic. On the other hand I've never heard a 96K MP3 stream that was suited for anything beyond paging so I suspect that 128K is right on the cusp where it can satisfy but only if all the stars are in rather good alignment.
