I've never noticed much lossage with Mr. Jarre (even at 160kbps.) But I will tell you what, you take something with isolated cymbal sounds ("Lark's Tongues in Aspic, Part One" or "The Sailor's Tale" by King Crimson, for example) and 128kpbs MP3 will absolutely murder them.

I quite like the crunchy sound of low sample rate audio after hearing digital samples on the c64 for so long, so it didn't bother me that much.
It depends on the kind of music, but yeah, when it's something actually written with that in mind, it has an enjoyably raw feel to it.

SID doesn't generate sine waves - that third one is saw.
