For what it's worth, MP3 may already be dying. The AAC and WMV formats are making serious headway, both of which have the capacity to sound much more natural than an MP3. The OGG/Vorbis format is also considered superior to MP3, but its adoption has been much slower, due in part to its lower profile, and perceived weakness - being a product of the Open Source Software community.But of course, the main reason that any of these formats have gained popularity is basic convenience. Compressed music files are small, light, easily stored on different media, and of course - easily shared. Were terrabytes of storage and gigabit Internet bandwidth the norm, chances are these formats might never have become popular. But in the recent past, CPU cycles have been a lot cheaper than storage or network bandwidth.
In any event, if you don't like it, don't listen to it. I don't.
