That's pretty good compression, actually.  IIRC, Sony settled on 500GB
per CD so that all of Beethoven's 9th Symphony could fit on one CD at
the then-present sampling rates.  For a lossless compression, a
one-third reduction is not bad at all.

It would seem that the only downsides are file size (not important) and
network traffic, which becomes less of an issue if you use a wired
connection (higher rate and less overhead).
