MP3s are fine for stuff ripped from CD, but if you've got a 
soundboard recording of a live show that's been converted to mp3 from 
wav, you've lost a lot data in that, and the resultant file sounds 
like crap compared to the original.

This is the reason so many people trading live show recordings use 
SHN format (or the new FRAC), it's lossless compression.

But for ripping your CDs to a digital format, mp3 is fine.

   but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.
