FLAC employs a lossless data compression algorithm, when decompressed it is an exact copy of the original audio data. 320bit MP3 is a lossy data compression algorithm, when decompressed it is not an exact copy of the original audio data. However, I don’t think you will be able to hear a difference with 320. Lower bit rates there will be perceivable differences. I don’t like to support any MP3’s for my precious music strictly because they are a lossy format. |

Yes… FLAC definitely no difference. 320bit MP3 very unlikely there will be a perceivable difference. |

I never listen to vinyl or CDs anymore. It all comes from my computer.
I have it connected to my good speakers and it sounds great to me. I love the idea of a shuffle list that is thousands of tracks long You never know what will pop up next. :) Of course, I also listen to full albums depending on my mood but it all comes from the computer these days. |

About 90% of my listening time is with mp3s. I buy stuff on CD or vinyl, and convert it to mp3 for everyday use. When I have the time and inclination, I listen to the "good" copies on my stereo.

its both digitally and sometimes on CD; i actually chose the latter so that it wouldn't feel as depressed as most people turn to iTunes and/or Spotify nowadays.

I'm not sure how to vote here. At my house, CD's most of the time. In my car, IPod most of the time... or wherever else I might travel that I might want to listen to some music on my own, IPod too. Whenever I might want to listen to some selection of songs instead of complete albums in my house, I might end up choosing the IPod or coomputer too.
