320Kb/s MP3 is fine for most things, and so is spotify quality in most cases. But there's also a bunch of bad tracks that I feel like is probably bad re-encodes, and sometimes bad source material. And yes, whether you can hear crunchiness depends on how you listen - you can't tell the difference over a car stereo when driving on a highway - and if you listen over bluetooth you're already hearing a bad re-encode, at least until BLE audio and LC3 is the norm - but IEMs in a home or quiet office is a different story and then it can get quite... distracting. A launch of a lossless feature might also imply either a change of workflow to import tracks from artists, or at least just a re-upload of the source material. That I find exciting, and is something I would consider paying for.
