I still can't tell the difference between a WAV file and a 320kb MP3. Anyway, this guy explains the differences:

Re: Audiophile or Audio-Fooled? How Good Are Your Ears?
At 320kb you're not going to hear much artifacting. Heck, I'm a (former) sound engineer, and 320 is fine (however I record everything at 320 WITHOUT VBR).
Anything below 320 and I start hearing annoying compression artifacts - especially with cymbals. It's the reason I can't stand to listen to rock stations on SiriusXM. They compress the crap out of those streams. It sounds worse than an AM radio to me.

Christians warn us about the anti-christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.
