This is very true.  I can easily hear MP3 distortion up to about 256kbps
on most music.  I've heard some songs where I can tell at 256kbps.

I have never heard compression artifacts from Ogg Vorbis.
Unfortunately, I'm scared that one day I'll be able to, and my entire CD
collection, encoded at the economical q=3.0 or less will become sick
sounding.  So I kinda wuss out and just set q to 5-ish, so any difficult
to encode music has some headroom.
