A plain old LP is the best quality. You get tones that digital music can't pick up

That might be, I was being realistic though, I don't have those kinds of players in my car or even in my living room if you get my point

Nubcello, it does indeed depend alot on the equipment you use.
With cheap brands you may barely hear a difference between a cd or a decent quality mp3.

I miss having a cd player, not so much when it jerks though.

Between a CD and a 320kbit .mp3 I bet you a $1000 that if you heard 10 random clips, you could never separate the 5cd from the 5 320kbit .mp3 ones.

The diffirence is minimal. I tried to do it between a 320kbit mp3 and a low quality .wav-file through a friends studiomonitors (costs ~1000€) and I had 8/10 ones correct, and that's alot easier to hear.

Was out partying yesterday, celebrating a friends birthday. Its been a long time since I didnt have control over the booze, got way drunk..tipping over tables full of bottles and drinks etc etc, for some strange reason I did not get thrown out of the disco.

That's probably true when it comes to random clips, but when listening to a certain song in mp3-format from your comp and then listening to the same song on a cd on the same stereo equipment(not necessarily during the same session) there is a noticable difference.
Usually the cd has a much clearer sound.

At least that has been the case with pretty much all songs I've unintentionally compared so far, I'm sure there are exceptions though.

All in all, most of the time a cd is not worth the effort, using mp3(or any kind of file) is so much more comfortable because of the limitations of a physical disc.

How could you possibly mix up the two of us?

I think you want it to sound better. If you didn't know what was playing I highly doubt it. Even if you heard 10 diffirent songs in both formats.

And I think there really is a difference.
It's called an opinion, yours and mine simply don't match as we've already learned long ago

Do a blindtest with a friend. Only way to find out if you really can hear the diffirence.
