But i really meant if you convert mp3 to for example AAC you get cascade conversion erros and artifacts ! loosy to lossy creates weird losses the resulting file sound worse than file it begun with, two lossy formats are not exactly on terms on with what data to discard so each trascoding wrecks the quality. If you do this 100 times mp3-AAC-mp3-AAC-wma-ogg-mp3 and so on it will sound garbage. If you on the other hand covert wav-flav-aiff-alac-wma-lossles-ape-wav-flac or whatever it will be the same after 1000 generations until you have to change needle on your harddrive ;) For migration in some dim future flac may be obsolete, then I want to convert to what ever is current then I might be senile by then so it does not matter, but friend and family should be able to use ol Mnyb's files in the future if they so desire.
