Revealation, sort of off topic.

Last night I decided to listen to some mp3 files that I had created for listening in my car. Believe it or not this was the first time I had listened to mp3 on my system. I don't claim to have golden ears by any means, but the difference from redbook CD's, LP's and flac files was clear.
At first, I was at a loss to figure out why the mp3 did not sound as good since all the dynamics, imaging and range were there. However, what I did notice was that the musicality and the believability of a live performance was totally absent. I guess the best way to describe it was that the music seem lifeless and flat.
I am sure this does not come as a surprise to anyone out there but for this old fart who only uses his 6th generation smartphone to make phone calls, it was enlightening.
