256 and 320kbps properly encoded can sound perfectly acceptable to me. With bad encoding, you can make your 320kbps mp3 sound as lowly 160 and that's what you really don't want ;-).
However as the HDD sizes grown and price for 1GB is "funny" today, lossless codecs are getting more and more interesting as a delivery format. I mean wav is still a waste of space for delivery format. FLAC and similar achieve compression ratio around 0.7, sometimes hitting 0.5. That's not bad and it is the format I'd like to see in the internet stores as a standard. Buying 128kbps mp3 is a bad bad joke dfegad.
