And copying MP3s to a CD-R doesn't waste quality? And two stages of
compression is essentially irrelevant when one is vastly more audible than
the other (i.e. MP3).
I had a laugh at this article. Unfortunately, I have a feeling it might be
true for the US. The editing capabilities of MP3 indeed. And what about the
inconvenience of CD-R for portable recordings and editing? The public needs
to be better informed, I say.
