Why aren't hipsters allowed to like compact discs?
IronOxide:
I do not always hear the difference of sound quality between my 192, V0, or even FLAC rips of albums, but where I do see the difference is when I make mixes. The program that our glorious friend Emilio showed me (Mixmeister) modifies the speed of tracks that I put on, and you can definitely hear gaps in the sound on lower bitrate MP3s that are much less prevalent on less lossy rips of the albums.
ALoveSupreme:
Cassette players are great in cars, because if you get bored of your tapes or lose all of them in your car that has turned into a garbage can, you can easily plug your mp3 player in with the $2 adaptor that you found in a thrift store. This is much more convenient than those damned $40 radio adapters you have to buy if you have a dumb CD player in your car.
CDs lose again.
McTaggart:
Or you could dub your music onto tapes and listen to them in the car and KEEP YOUR GODDAMN CAR TIDY FOR FUCKS SAKE.

That doesn't make any sense at all. Power has nothing to do with frequency response. Generally speaking, power governs the volume, frequency response and shape of the speaker govern the detail.
Digital recording equipment has a very high sample rate (as is already mentioned) and will, at some point in the process, be converting the analog signal generated by the vibrations of voices and instruments into a digital signal for storage. The main difference between analog and digital recording equipment is the storage medium and the conversions that must be made to store the sound in that medium.
As far as sampling rates go, blahblahblah, nyquist theorem, blahblahblah.
I usually buy my music in CD form, because I have to spend a good chunk of time per-week in my car and would prefer to get a physical copy of the album artwork.
