Yeah, I have to concur here. I use FLAC whenever possible, but some music is only available to me in mp3 (ie exclusive downloads from emusic). I accept that it won't sound as good as my FLAC files, but I'd like it to sound as good as possible.
I am not saying that SD has done a poor job in prioritizing this bug -- I don't doubt there are higher priority problems that need addressing. But I don't think people should trivialize or dismiss this bug just because it affects mp3 playback, and I do hope it gets fixed.
