Re: Scirocco-l CD

["MIKE" <lerb@redrose.net>]

MP3 is almost 100% digital quality if it is done correctly. I rip CDs off
track by track digitally. The only loss you get is in the compression and
that is ever 128 bit. I will buy anyone a case of beer (or soda for the
young ones) if you can hear the difference on a good stereo after I am done
with a MP3 CD...BTW I have my entire collection of CDs (over 60 CDs) onto
three CDs that I can play anytime in my computer or even expand back to WAV
format and write again back to almost 100% condition to the original if my
daughter (17 months old) decides to play frisbee out the passenger side door
with one again :)
