RE: Adversarial, really? RE: The procedure... RE: You would have to buy a CD(s), if I understand you correctly.

If you have special settings that make the LAME encoder work better than the default ones, then please post these so that everyone can try them on their own, if they are so interested.

As I noted above, a friend of mine gets surpsisingly good results from mp3-format data. Since I posted, I've checked notes he sent me a while back - he's adamant that it's the version number that's critical, that Lame v 3.90.3 is the one to go for and that later versions give poorer-quality sound.

I'm not in a position to test his claim properly but I can say that such of his mp3-format rips of old LPs as I've listened to sound remarkably good though I'm normally reaching for the off button within a minute or two of starting to play mp3s.

Whatever, can I say that I think it's perfectly reasonable to ask if lossy compression is as bad as the gurus claim. My take is that, yes, generally it is but I don't feel the need to be arrogant about saying so.
