Now I know that this might sound like a silly question, and for non-hifi nuts and computer experts it probably is, but this is addressed to people like me - very fussy about my music and not totally convinced that computers don't involve witchcraft...
If storage space were not an issue, would people actually sooner store their music totally uncompressed rather than use a 'lossless' codec? I know people are going to say that lossless preserves all the data etc. but let me ask you this: If someone invented a 'lossless' way of making food 'smaller' for storage by removing the water, would you rather eat an apparantly perfectly reconstituted or untouched version? I mean water is just water right? If you put it back where it came from is as good as before isn't it?... I'm sure this is more of a psychological question but then we live in the world of 'vibration cones', 'green pen on CD edges' and 'deep freeze your CDs for better sound' -- hifisteve ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hifisteve's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4227 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21700 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
