Kids today will be geezers before they know it.
I don't know if we'll ever get passed music being perfectly fine. Kids today don't care if their music is compressed. The people I work with range in age 20-35. My hubby and I are the oldest at 50 and 54. They think YouTube music is good.

We'll get past this age of severely compressed music being accepted as "perfectly fine", but other stuff will have to change first. The most obvious badly needed change, I think, is fast and reliably fast broadband. That will come before long, then musicians will be much happier.As for most car stereos, by the way, yesterday I was in the car with my wife. She was driving and I put on some music she asked for. It was a Beatles album from Tidal. NOT one of Tidal's "HIFI" offerings. Truly awful quality. That was Bluetooth. Later, I plugged the iPhone into the aux port and continued playing the same album. Still non-CD quality, of course, but she noticed the improvement immediately.> I'm perfectly happy with 128, but if I wanted to keep good-sounding music there, 256 would be far too little.
I strongly suspect that for music listened to over an iPhone's speakers, or over most headphones, or most car stereo's, few people can tell the difference between AAC, FLAC, WAV, or AIFF.
