It depends on the ears, certainly. It also depends on the bitrate
chosen for the MP3 file and also on the audio outboard used (at 128
Kbps there's no difference with a portable player but the difference
becomes obvious with top class speakers).

Agreed. If the author used MPEG-4 video files as the source it makes
no sense forcing him to share them in MJPEG format. Also if he remixed
MP3 files, why forcing to share FLAC or WAV? There will be no
gain. "The author should release the true source he really
has". That's the point IMHO.

Cordially, Ismael
