I've never heard a song encoded to 128 kbps sound good. Sound alright, sure, but never good. The lowest I'll ever encode or download something is 192 VBR. Sound mostly decent, takes up a pretty small space.
Also, this is the same reason I'll never use a site like iTunes.. I'm not paying full price for a song that's missing 80% of it's sound information. Then the whole DRM crap... but lets not get into that.
Oh, and yes there are sites that offer FLAC/APE download without DRM, however they charge you even more, and it's just cheaper to go out and buy the CD, plus you get the booklet and stuff, and a pressed CD (better quality than a burn generally).
