I have a tin ear; I'm not only happy with MP3s, I'd probably be happy with bad MIDIs. There are probably a lot more people like me out there than there are true audiophiles ... or, for that matter, even people who can tell an MP3 from a bad MIDI. (seriously, does rap need 24 bits?) So it's a matter of market size, and the fact that we tin-ear types can stuff hours and hours of our music onto a cheap MP3 player.
