What's lossless compression?
The reason I'm chosing mp3 is that I can squese on average 5 audio CDs
into one data CD with 320 Kbps mp3s. This saves me media costs
(opposed to making backup audio copies), burning time, and shelf
space. Also, the backup copies are very easily avalable.
Can the program you mention perform comparably? Well, my question was:
just how much quality do I lose at 320 Kbps.
Thanks,
