lossless vs 256

i can certainly, easily hear the difference between aac and lossless, but i still think 256 aac (w/vbr) is good enough to rip most of my music to. I think it's the best compromise between conserving space and preserving quality. For my "reference" type recordings i use lossless, but the most other stuff 256 sounds great.

and i don't think it's that most people can't tell the difference. it's that they never bother to compare it to anything better. Also, if you're system is really crappy, that's a factor too. But if you sat someone down in front of a decent system and compared 128k to 256k to lossless, i think anyone could hear the difference. but if you never heard lossless, how could you know what you're missing?
