Why 24-bit/192kHz music files make no sense - and may be bad for you!

That's right. Nudone is a god! ;D
Innuendo:
Nowadays I usually listen to all my music via headphones on my laptop, from mp3's at 128kHz. I had always been skeptical of the need for using 192kHz and considered it to be inefficient in space terms and with no perceptible benefit in my case.-IainB (March 07, 2012, 04:45 AM)

Not only is hearing a factor, but what genres of music you listen to as well. The lossy compression of MP3s is more well suited to some types of music than others.
(All this talk reminds me of a few months ago when I had to replace my dead Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 5.1 speakers for my PC. What a trip down the rabbit hole that was....with the time invested in researching what to buy...yeesh!)

Depends on the source material. You can easily tell the difference between 256 bit-rate and 320 bit-rate on certain songs. Crashes of cymbals during certain musical stretches are often the most telling.
