Actually, wrong. CDs are not compressed. They are essentially WAV files recorded at about 1,400K a second. So yes, MP3s (even at 320k) are considerably lower quality. Although, most pop music does not have the dynamic range to really show up the difference (classical music does), and even if it did, most people would have trouble hearing it.

I would have justified it a bit better if the olympics wasnt in london.

Because, of course, London doesn't contain some of the most deprived areas in England. Areas that would benefit from the regeneration and improvement in facilities bought by the Olympics (and indeed, are).
