I was surprised today to see a reference to "a poor quality
fifth-generation mp3 file" - I thought that digital files (of whatever
format) reproduced exactly from generation to generation with no
deterioration at all. Am I mistaken? If mp3s do indeed get
progressively worse when repeatedly dubbed I'm going to have to rethink
the audio project I'm currently working on.

I'd have thought copying an MP3 file would result in a clone of the
original. Unless it is decoded then treated in some way, then re-recorded.
