My son has been telling me that 192 kbps MP3's give him full CD
quality sound.  We did some comparisons on the weekend.  He was
surprised when he clearly heard the difference every time.  We also
compared a 15 ips tape of a CD with MP3.  He had to agree that my
"antique" tape recorder delivers much higher quality audio than MP3.

I wouldn't say MP3 is awful.  8 tracks and Walkman cassettes were
awful.    MP3's provide very good audio quality by comparison.  Good
but not HIFI.
