I can't tell the difference.
MP3's go on my mp3 player because to be honest, I'm not wanting an exact replica of the day the song was recorded. I'll be on a train/plane/car where background noise will be coming through to ruin it anyway. Buy better headphones? No, the standard creative ones I got are fine, sure they arnt the best but I don't want bulkier ones and its not worth the money, sounds fine as is.
Same for on my PC, Audigy 2 and my 5:1 setup cost me about £80 all in, works fine. Can't tell the difference between anything over 192kbps, 128kbps is a very very slight difference, but nothing I care about.
Sure .flac is great for lossless file format, I just don't think its worth the extra hassle and disk space. It may well be superior but Betamax was and we all know what happened to that.
