Ah, hadn't heard that.  Cool.  And not cool.

Yeah, I am MP3-free and it's great.  Well, I might have ONE MP3 lying 
around here... ;)

I did a comparo over the weekend comparing 128kbps MP3 to 128kbps AAC 
to 192k MP3 to CD.  Actually it was just 128kbps MP3 vs 128kbps AAC vs 
CD, and 192kbps AAC vs CD.  I don't believe I posted my report but I 
will do so if there is interest in my findings.
