especially with the compression artifacts that are imbedded in most all 128kbps files I have ever heard.I just disagree that there are meaningful differences between 256kbps AAC (vbr) files and lossless in terms of sound quality. If you can hear it, more power to you...but after giving it more than a little scrutiny, I find that the difference between the two formats is knowing that there is a difference, not one that you can hear. For some people, especially audiophiles, that's enough of a difference to be the difference. And as cheap as drive space is, I can't really say I can find fault in the logic.
