Hey, I get a lot of crap about having a lot of mp3's. Im positively a 
music fiend, and I need a lot of it. I buy 4-8 cd's per week. I encode 
all of them with iTunes, and i rotate them onto my iPod. MP3's encoded 
at 192kbps really arent bad enough that you would notice it with a pair 
of earbud headphones. I notice it on my expensive headphones at work, 
but I'm not convinced I wouldnt notice it with oggs either. If youre 
proposing I store my music as flac or wav files, youre just insane.
