+1 on using foobar2000 and its ABX tool to do some personal testing. I
predict you'll be very surprised at the bitrate at which things are
transparent for you. Given my age (and 99.% of us have

Fat,
Don't be too surprised if you find out that your local FM college
station is playing MP3s. Many radio stations today are.

I would not be surprised, in fact sometimes they do and they announce

It's a surprise the internet radio is MP3?!
Most of internet radio seems to be MP3 File Format. That can't be good
right? It doesn't seem to matter what kbps that they stream at if the
File Format is MP3 and is compressed as hell.
Does anyone know of any good Jazz Stations in the country that stream a
lossless program?

Jazz Wyoming, KUWL, streams at 256kbps and sounds pretty good.
