What I meant was... if you're listening to mp3's, I would be gobsmacked if you can tell the difference between a transporter and an unmodified Squeezebox at one eighth the price... An SB3 is pretty good, you know! As for the mp3 vs FLAC thing - yes, time changes all things especially related to technology. And if your MP3's sound good to you, there's no need to re-rip them. However it would be prudent, now that disc space is so cheap, to rip new music in FLAC now, just in case you find that you can tell the difference in the future.
