"it is terribly convenient to have all your music in one place"
That's the problem. We're a society bent on convenience.
And my records don't warp, scratch or wear out because I take care of them. I've also never owned even one CD that's been scratched to shit or broken or lost because I take care of them.
Mixdown may dump some of the sound but mp3's STILL sound thin, shrill and empty. Of course if you're ripping at 320kbps it's extremely difficult to hear it. 128 kbps is garbage. Might I add that the pan flutes of Zamfir won't reveal a loss at 128kbps either. The more complex the music the more shitty an mp3 will be!
I just like to be sure I'm hearing it all.
