The vast majority of people on Soulseek are trading MP3s. Who cares what YouTube uses?

  Do they hate being able to hear cymbals or something? MP3 can't properly encode those even at 320k.

    The result is that you can't hear the cymbals?

      You can hear that they sound different from lossless audio - it will be smeared out and start too early due to artifact called "pre-echo". Basically it's the same thing as what people call ringing or mosquito noise in image compression. eg: https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,77128.msg674479.html#msg674479 https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,77128.msg674479.html#...

    I can hear them just fine in all of my collection, even at 192kbps
