MP3 compression works with psychoacoustic, that's why most people can't tell the difference.
If you play a set in 320kbps and then the exact same set in wave hardly anyone will notice.
Also the ID3 tags can help to have your music organized. I don't really see the problem with mp3 files. If the quality isn't good enough for you just buy all the tracks in your set as wavs.
The importance about wavs is, that you need a at least 24bit wav to release a tune. If anyone has your 24/32bit wav of your tune (b4 the release) he is theoretical able to release it under his own name.

Mp3 was NOT meant for file sharing. Look up the history of the mp3 compression. At the beginning it was a project from the Frauenhofer Institut that even had state supportance. I think they searched for a new format for radio shows. The format developed to be used for music piracy - but they didn't invent it for that reason
