RE: More FUD???

"However, novice that I am, I have a hard time accepting that "lossless compression" is anything but an oxymoron."

Not an oxymoron. It's been done for decades with computer data, as in .zip files. Lossless compression works because typical files contain redundant data. Ordinary zip files will compress audio by a certain amount, but special compression schemes tailored for audio will do a better job, such as FLAC, ALAC and WMALossless.
