Personally I want to listen to the music I like in the best quality available. Call me a snob, but usually I'd rather listen to a totally different Band C's song in at least 320k mp3 (preferably FLAC) than either Band A or B's in less quality. But I enjoy music on a technical level as well. I find it very difficult to enjoy bad mastering or audio quality. There is enough well-mastered and recorded music out there nowadays that I don't feel I need to be subjected to badly-recorded music. There are some recordings where I really wish they were done better, but very few that are really badly recorded that I can enjoy, no matter how good the music itself might be.
