I Think It Is Worth the Trouble, Because.....

There are more and more products out there where "lossless" compression is part of the package, where a lot of people presume comparable or improved performance. While at the same time, another group of people claiming that we cannot distinguish the difference between Redbook and MP3, with nobody realizing that the "Redbook" may in actuality be degraded ("lossless"), and a lot of false belief that maybe MP3 is all we need. So what we end up getting is even more compromise. Not just in poorer sounding products, but lower quality recordings.

There is so much confusion over what's a good or degraded signal, we end up buying what's purportedly "new technology" that is in reality new compromises in performance.
