Depends on the bitrate. 128kb/s is quite noticeable; 320kb/s just isn't.
I keep my music as default quality Ogg-Vorbis, and that's perfectly good
enough (especially considering that a lot of the time I listen on a
portable player while out walking).

FLAC isn't really worth the extra space, as far as I'm concerned, and
storing anything as WAV is just silly.

I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only
know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that
differentiate me from a doormat, or a prostitute. --- Rebecca West
