doesn't matter. you can't hear the difference.

Psychoacoustics matters too and unheard artifacts can annoy one on a
subliminal level.

nonsense. if you can't hear it, it makes no difference whatsoever.

double-blind tests have proven this time and time again.

I guess Fraunhofer[sic] wasted their money then.

mp3 works by removing what you can't hear.

By removing what can't be heard in noisy environments and/or on bad
equipment.
I'm not sure if mp3's by themselves removes dynamics, or if it is
possible to keep the original dynamics.

nope. it's in normal listening conditions, including using top quality
equipment.

in a double-blind test, people consistently *can't* tell the difference.

they don't, since a quality mp3 is indistinguishable from the original.
again, double-blind tests confirm this.

How about some links to these double blind tests? I'd like to see the
details of how they were performed.

So it is deliberate by the mp3-"producers", that Dark Side of the Moon
has twice the dynamics on CD as on mp3.

Please show us the "double blind" testing of which you speak.
