    And then you got the point:

    That's the real point. You don't have to be an audiophile to enjoy and love music. You simply love music.

    And, hey man, I agree: with a 4200 W Bose HiFidelity System, a FLAC concert burnt decently on a decent CD sounds MUCH MORE awesome than a MP3 one.
    But... not everybody has a 4200 W Bose HiFi system Nevertheless, everybody do have a 4 GB MP4, where MP3 are more than enough.
