And last time I did an indie game (ages ago) I was very

I can only hear a difference when comparing them side by side.
When taken separately, I can't guess the bitrate.
Not to be "that audiophile guy", but the big differences in
quality are most audible in the high frequencies. More lossy
compression means messed up highs, which are then normally
attenuated to some degree to cover it up.
Some audio stuff can be really bad, especially when digitally
edited. On the other hand, if you're really into music, it
doesn't really matter. I would listen to the shittiest bootleg
live recordings of my favorite bands and enjoy the music all the
same. You always hear something new.
