I can hear clipping on certain notes and I hear compression that, especially with songs that I am familiar with, changes the sound.

And as someone who grew up listening to music on scratchy AM stations, it's not like my ears only appreciate high quality audio. It's just that when I'm PURCHASING music, I don't want the sound to be noticeably inferior right out of the box. Forget all those vinyl albums I scratched in my youth. At least they sounded good when I opened the package.
