Lossless audio sounds better than the MP3s I made in 2000, when I encoded them at the lowest viable resolution to get as many as possible on my Creative Nomad Jukebox. It does not sound notably better than the high-resolution encoded MP3s I make today. That said, when making music or uploading it to streaming, I do it with lossless files because in those situations, more information is better.
