In my arguement I am debating the difference between your normally converted 128kpbs mp3 vs your traditional (non sacd) CD. There is a difference in the sound quality, one that I would be willing to bet that most people would hear. I compare it to listening to a song on tape. But to each their own. I am comfortable knowing that I can tell the difference between the two, and is the reason I do not have any of my mp3's on anything but my ipod.

If you don't steal your music, you can encode MP3s off of your CDs at whatever rate you like.

Steal? I only share music files with my closest 2.5 million or so friends

Actually in all honesty the last songs I did not "pay" for were all 80's songs for a theme party I threw, and let me tell you the collection of 80's music I have now is f**king impressive
