If you listen on your phone, or car stereo going with MP3s is the way to go as you will not notice the loss of quality. OTOH, if you have invested heavily in quality speakers, etc for your home system, and listen at realistic levels, you will definitely notice the loss of information that conversion to MP3 entails when going from CDs.
Of course, it is possible that even if you notice the loss of quality, you might not be disturbed by that because of the increase in convenience.
I used to be into high quality stereo. I remember buying the best turn table and stereo equipment just to hear a quality mix. But I'm old now and my hearing isn't as good as it used to be. The MP3's are pretty good. Nothing beats a good quality 33 1/3rd rpm recording.
