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.
Mike,
Thank you for the clarification. I see your point. I do some recording
of FM broadcasts from WPFW FM 89.3 in lossless format. I like the
results but the file size is brutal. Usually convert to MP3 or Ogg to
take it anywhere.
