Markus Laurin believed he knew of an exception:

My immediate reaction was just as Chad Gombossi said: that you'll get a bet-
ter recording with less work by copying from CD to MD over an analog connec-
tion than by ripping to computer, encoding to MP3, and dubbing the MP3 file's
otuput to MD.  Anyone who would do that instead of just using an analog con-
nection from CD to MD qualifies as among "the most confused people."

And if for some reason you absolutely must go through the computer, why would
you degrade the track to MP3 quality instead of ripping it to an uncompressed
format (like .wav) or to a compression format with no loss (like .shn)?  You
would have to be one of the most confused people to do that.
