If a song was on a CD but you have it as a 10:1 .mp3 file, and you play the
.mp3 file as input to MD, the resulting MD track is 1/5, not 1/50, the size
of the original CD track. There is a lot of extrapolation in decoding the
.mp3 file into S/PDIF or into analog output, and, because of overlap in the
algorithms, a disproportionate part of what ATRAC discards comes from the
extrapolation rather than from the retained data.
You're telling me that compressing the file twice doesn't effect the audio
quality? Not sure I'm getting you here.
