Spotify's 320kBps ogg sound prettty decent , some albums are of lower rate if very obscure but its not that bad . Actually pretty close on the fwe ones i casually compared . 320k should in reality be completely indistinguasable from lossles if done rigth ,but i think spotify takes some shortcuts it's not perfect . I could get Wimp lossles where i live ,but i do use spotify as music discovery service , travel music and for friends playlist during parties (then you just cant tell the diff at all anymore ) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
