Lossy Audio Formats (mp3, ogg, m4a, etc), Quality and Comparisons

if my surprise that a 320 CBR mp3 ripped from a vinyl source sounds astonishingly different than an equal bitrate mp3 ripped form a digital source makes me an idiot, then so be it. i remain surprised.

vinyl is fine for rock and jazz and whatever else, but electronic music started life in the digital world, and that's where it should stay. i never understood why DJs release instrumental stuff on vinyl, when CDs sound so much better.
