    I think this is great news. Recording engineers in the last ten years (and more specifically, mastering engineers) have been producing music with the understanding that their stereo image, dynamic range and nuance are going to be decimated (literally) by MP3 compression. That made sense back in a time when the media and channels that music was being distributed on were limited. Now that we live in a broadband world world where hard drive storage is practically limitless (although iPods and Iphones are definitely limited) it's high time we start undoing the destruction that compressed audio has done.
