MP3 is almost bearable listening on my little PC speakers, but on any system capable of producing 20/20k they sound AWFUL!
Furthermore, I take issue with the term "CD quality." CD quality audio (red book) is 16bit 44.1k. Period. That's it. I can accept this sort of crap from the local news desk jockeys reporting on Napster, but I'd like to think that most of the folks here don't buy into the hype...
