I have the 650's."Amazing" just barely begins to describe them. :)As for the differences between 320kbps and lossless, it also depends upon the hardware. If you are feeding a pair of Sennheiser or other high quality headphones with a line out from a computer, you aren't getting the best of them. Adding a good headphone amp (see headroom.com for a ton of them) is an excellent start. Also, the feed from computers is often plagued by noise and compressed dynamic range. Electrically speaking the interior of a computer is an unfriendly place for small signal audio.I use an outboard Headroom DAC fed by the SPDIF output. Kills the analog output of any computer in terms of dynamics, low noise, and clean sound.
Good headphones are expensive, but not all expensive headphones are good.Also, what do you mean by expensive? Headphones that could reproduce a discernible difference between a 320 kb/s MP3 and a lossless audio file would cost a few hundred dollars. Even with my Sennheisers I generally find 192 kb/s VBR produces only occasional, barely audible, problems.As an addendum, Sennheiser is good but definitely not the best *value* gear out there.
I wouldnt touch mp2 tagger he hasnt updated if for about a year. Try Jaikoz its not free either but it does support auto fixing Musicbrainz,Album Art and Lyrics ,and works with mp3 and mp4 , and best thing is its almost fully automatic - hardly any typing.
