Yes, but I can hear music now, so it's a trade-off.
And I understand the trade-off of listening to music on a portable vs. listening to uncompressed music at a stand-still. But it seems to me "kids these days" don't have anything to measure the difference by. I don't spend a lot of time on the bus or out in the world all alone, so portable music means very little to me.
Even so, though I listen to CD quality or wave files at home, I rarely use my really good sound system - but instead listen to things from my computer. It's got excellent speakers, but the sound of the computer is always there in the background. I'm compromising even then ... I don't need my music condensed to make it sound even worse.
