HiFi is something the youth of today fail to understand.
They wouldn't buy mp3 players if they knew anything about HiFi.

decent files on it).

There is no such thing as a decent mp3 file, they do not exist.
All mp3 files are compressed and are far from being as good as the
source they came from.

Have you ever heard a very-high-bitrate mp3 file?

At what level of "corruption" do you draw the line - .1%? .001%? 1 PPM?
If you insist on zero, I will withdraw from the discussion (-:

You wouldn't claim there was if you had actually compared the source
with the mp3.

BTW some "mp3" players will play lossless files ie. not mp3, I suggest
you try one.


Some mp3 files _are_ - *for practical purposes* - indistinguishable from
the original; however, I won't say "I suggest you try one".
