Tom's point was that there would be MORE loss then the original encoding of the song by Apple or whomever. If you take a 320kbit data stream and put it on a cdr uncompressed you've lost nothing. Then rip it with a lossless encoder (flac) then again, you've lost nothing. However you do take a hit with the file size.
