I tried to see if I could tell MP3 (320) from FLAC - and to my surprise I could and I couldn't. I listened to a sample of each - beeing able to listen again from the start of the tracks, but not knowing which sample was MP3/FLAC. I tried 4 different tracks, one of them twice with a break in between. Every time I guessed wrong: What I thought was FLAC was MP3. So I could tell the difference (I don't know statistics, but getting 5 "rigtht" out of 5 is beyond pure chance, that much I do know) but to my surprice I thought the MP3 had the better sound quality. I am not sure I would think so after listened for more than a few seconds. What made me think the MP3 was better, I think was, that it sounded "firmer", less fussy - which perhaps makes sence - the fussiness or some sort of "air" in the recording get's lost?
