Necessity For Audio Quality
My question to you guys is if audio quality in your music is really a necessity.
Our generation has recently been trained to acquire and or listen to their music through various streaming services such as spotify, pandora, or youtube. These services are by no means the providers of the highest possible quality of audio.
However, lately we have also been seeing a push by some people for lossless music (FLAC).
So my question to you, at this point does audio quality really make a huge difference for you? If it is too low quality, does it ruin it for you, or are you just there to enjoy the music regardless?

For my genre of music, audio quality is a HUGE necessity, that and the deliverance of the music through headphones. I prefer only Apple headphones, I know, shoot me, but honestly, their new design feeds the sound straight into your ear canal. It's gorgeous. With all my music I try to find 320kbps MP3, I try to attain the highest quality possible for the best listening experience. I just...can't deal with anything else. If possible, I download FLAC and use a nifty little program I've got on my Mac to convert it to the highest possible MP3 quality for my iPod. I prefer higher quality because I love to hear music as if it was happening right in front of me, not in headphones. Full, 5.1/7 channel stereo, surround channels, the works, I prefer to have it all, just because that's how I prefer my listening experience. It's not actually so much listening to music, it's actually (an I prefer) to call it a journey.
