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?

It matters in some genres more than others. The more synth and computer heavy something gets, the less that the subtleties that you'd find with more organic instruments is noticeable. Truth be told, I think it's the sound equipment that matters more than the music file. Besides, there is really is no comparison between listening to a recording of a piano piece and hearing a high level performance of it.
