OK, I understand it is not necessary. But what is the point to compress the music again? To save bandwidth? What for? I have all my music in wav format. (OK, I am an audiophile.) Altough the difference between (well) compressed and uncompressed music might not always be huge, there is still a difference. And that difference is usually equal to the extra edge in music performance I have paid such a lot of money to obtain. So why would I want to compress music and lose that extra bit of good sound quality? Memory is cheap nowadays. And in the Spotify case, it is not the question of storing the music on a hard disk, it is listening to the music on the fly. Do many people get congestion problems in their LANs if they listen to music in wav format? I do not. But anyway, even though it might not be of interest to most users, how would it be possible to transfer Spotify in wav format instead? Does anybody know what could be used instead of Lame? If I just remove lame_dll.enc from the Spotify directory, what will happen? (OK, I know, I should have tried to see whether it works or not before I ask. I will try tomorrow.)
