Idk man. Show someone some cymbals on a 128kbps track and it sounds like someone crumpling a plastic bag via a tin can connected to a string. In contrast flac is going to sound much more natural.
I’d agree with you regarding 320 and flac - most people are gonna have a hard time differentiating.

Many people are ok with hearing music out of a phone speaker. Audiophiles don’t necessarily care about how “most people” perceive sound quality.

Why is it the people that are ok listening to music out of a phone speaker are also the people ok polluting public spaces with music from phone speakers?

Because they are dumb assholes? I grew up around folks who jury rigged speakers into the back of their trucks for camping and the worst they got was blaring freebird on the highway, it used to take work to be that guy now someone can just play some obnoxious trash in the restaurant with no work whatsoever.

That was my point. The comment I was replying to was suggesting that people switching from Spotify will be blown away by better quality audio. Most wouldn’t notice a difference.
