some folk are consistently retarded or tone-deaf...means nothing...other than some people prefer a worse quality sound...some people prefer VHS to dvd so what...

[Mr JP Fugley]

I prefer the sound of vinyl to digital, that's fine...
But mp3 to cd come off it that's just a lower quality copy of the same thing...that's like prefering the quality of an xvid ripped from a dvd

It's not really analogous. Some people are sensitive to certain frequencies and if they are removed they prefer the result.

And also the sound becomes less complex and therefore more pleasant to some people.

I know it's counter intuitive but it's true.

It has nothing to do with being mentally disabled or tone deaf, it's simply that they prefer how it sounds.

So it's to do with hearing problems then, fair enuff...

Nope, not at all. Indeed if it was they may not hear the additional material in the CD track and therefore wouldn't perceive any difference.

pish....your saying:

And also the sound becomes less complex and therefore more pleasant to some people.

= hearing problems or lack of audio awareness.

If you know about sound, a lower bitrate conversion offers nothing over an original, sure some may prefer it, but they are prefering an inferior copy....which is just silly...

Fair point, I wasn't thinking of hearing problems in that way.

I was more talking about the second part, "audio awareness". They are aware of the sounds, they just don't like them.
