Man, reading this thread makes me grateful that I have bad ears or something. I'm pleased as punch with 128k MP3s off my iPod with cheap-rear end $10 Skull Candy earbuds.

I dunno if any of you guys saw this on Slashdot, but apparently 1/3rd of people can't tell the difference between 48k and 160k encoding, even on very high-end audio equipment. http://crave.cnet.co.uk/digitalmusic/0,39029432,49303980,00.htm I'm probably one of those people. I conducted a test for myself a number of years ago with a 56k song vs it's identical 256k song, and I could barely discern any difference at all. Even when playing identical samples side by side, I could tell that they each sounded slightly different, but I couldn't have called either one better. (for what it's worth, the songs I tried it with was Billy Joel's "Piano Man" and Rob Zombie's "Dragula")
