I think it's the quality of the equipment which makes the big difference. 
A great sounding LP or CD when compressed at say 192 thingies will still 
sound great on a decent hi-fi.  After all, this compression is only 
supposed to take out the things your ears can't pick up anyway.

And when you hear an MP3 you don't know things have been taken out unless 
you really concentrate and know the original inside out.

I used to be against MP3 but then I recorded Introducing from LP onto my 
computer and MP3'd it and it sounds just as good as the original to my 
ears.  Good quality recording, good quality turntable, etc, etc.

Thats exactly what I normally do and seems to me to nagate the digital 
rights issue.

I used to have that opinion on mp3's as well but have to admit that I 
listen 
to all my music now via either my ipod or archos plugged into my expensive 

hi fi, I know from a buffs point of view listening to compressed music is 
wrong, but my ears just don't seem to detect any real difference. I think 
my 
ears are old and no longer pick up the subtleties of compressed or not :( 
- 
but luckily still manage to tell me what sounds good and what doesn't.

On the SAparks angle do I presume they were not on Janice long's show last 

night - just recording a session to be aired later??
