This is probably a stupid question but I've heard more than one answer so I'm looking for the right one. If I burn a CD on my computer from one I bought at a store, is the musical quality exactly the same? If not, what causes the quality to be degraded?

Also, if I buy music online (iTunes for instance) is the sound quality inferior? Why? If I want to use iTunes to store my CD's in case they get scratched (heaven forbid), what is the best way to do so without losing any quality in the sound?

One last thing, when it comes to higher quality audiophile CD's (not necessarily SACD or DVD-Audio), will a copy made on a computer be identical to the original?

Thanks for helping a techno-illiterate out.
