The problem with this thread is not the bland but accurate statements (e.g. people don't use lossy for recording and editing, flac is good for playback, latest lame is good for playback). The problem is the inaccurate detail which slightly anal people...such as myself...cannot resist commenting on. Such is an Audiophile forum. :)
First of all, you CAN and DO lose accuracy when you make any transformation in lossless. If you process lossless enough some degradation will be noticed because of rounding errors. COPYING lossless files (without processing) leads to zero degradation. But the same applies to lossy anyway. Studios use hi-rez not red book...if the criterion that mattered was lossless encoding they could just use red book. But as I said, I agree studios don't use lossy and I agree it's because they need a higher quality format. Why don't we leave it there?
