Not really, but this argument seems to get trotted out over and over that people shouldn't have to pay for a non-lossless format which "sounds like crap".
I know there is a difference and I know that the difference isn't insignificant if you have the system to play it, but the reality is the vast majority of people are playing music off of their ipod which is either docked in a sound dock or running off of the 3.5mm jack into another 3.5mm jack or RCAs.
In these examples I suspect the difference is minimal if not non-existent.
And your comment was that it sounds like crap. It doesn't "sound like crap" it just happens to sound worse than a lossless format.
